Dott reaches semi-finals

Graeme Dott thwarted a magnificent fightback from Australia’s Neil Robertson to reach the semi-finals for the second time in three years at the 888.com World Championship in Sheffield.

The Scot let slip leads of 10-5 and 12-8 as Robertson forced a deciding frame before going through 13-12 to book a possible clash with Ronnie O’Sullivan, his conqueror in the 2004 final.
