Neil Robertson has won the English Open to win £100,000

Australian player Neil Robertson won the English Open snooker tournament. In the final match he left no chance to Wu Yize from China, winning the meeting of 17 frames with the score 8:7.

Before the start of the tournament, the former number one ranked only 26th and was not among the tournament favourites. However, this did not prevent the Australian from going the whole distance without defeat.
