Robertson gets title defence off to flyer

SNOOKER: Defending champion Neil Robertson wasted little time in booking his place in the quarter-finals of the Wuxi Classic in China.

The Australian raced to a 5-1 victory over Michael Holt, which included a break of 130, to set up a last-eight clash with another Englishman, Shaun Murphy.

Murphy secured his place with a 5-2 third round win over 17-year-old Chinese player Zhao Xintong.
