Selby cruises into second round

Mark Selby sealed a 10-1 first-round win over Crucible rookie Jimmy Robertson this afternoon at the Betfred.com World Championship.

The Leicester potter preyed on mistakes from his opponent throughout and without having to play at his best was able to record a crushing victory.

Robertson took the opening frame of the match yesterday but then offered little resistance as Selby, strongly backed for the title this year, cruised through to a match against Stephen Hendry in the last 16.
