Summary Australia's Neil Robertson defeated Welshman Mark Williams 6-4 to reach Masters semi-finals.
The match was played at Alexandra Palace on Friday, and Robertson’s win has set up a clash with UK champion Judd Trump for a spot in the final.Williams battled back from 4-1 to 4-3 down, but a break of 119 to go 5-3 in front ended the Welshmans run as Robertson, the 2010 world champion, edged home.I potted some really good balls under pressure to go 5-3 up, Robertson told the BBC.The Melbourne player admitted he struggled with his tip during the match and would have to get it replaced before his semi-final.You are meant to play in a few tips and have one ready, but I havent done it. Hopefully I can play it in tomorrow. A brand new tip is probably a players worst nightmare, said the Australian.Trump beat Ronnie OSullivan 6-2 in the quarter-finals and beat Robertson 9-7 in the semi-finals of the UK Championship last month.Asked how he sees his next match-up with Trump, Robertson said: I like to play attacking snooker, if I get in the balls Ill play quickly.Hes playing really well, but players are getting opportunities against him.
