  • He revealed an Uber driver went to the wrong arena and a courtesy car mistakenly headed to the venue instead of his hotel, nearly causing him to miss the final.
  • After claiming the £500,000 prize, he plans to upgrade his golf clubs and secure memberships at exclusive courses as a reward.
  • Robertson highlighted the role of former top-10 player Joe Perry in refining his technique and Cambridge-based Helen Davis in restoring his mental confidence.
  • Ronnie O’Sullivan’s twin 147 breaks earned him a £147,000 bonus, underscoring the tournament’s growing prize incentives on the World Snooker Tour.
