NEIL ROBERTSON believes he has had the last laugh on Judd Trump, who criticised him for being “boring” and “slow” last week.
Australian Robertson sealed a first Masters title with a 10-6 win over Shaun Murphy, his seventh win in as many major finals.
And a cheque for £150,000 at Alexandra Palace was the perfect answer to 22-year-old UK champion Trump, who has slammed the world No4’s style.
Former world champion Robertson, 29, denied the claims and is targeting more controversy-free Crucible glory, after his 18-13 win over Graeme Dott in 2010 came in a poor final which ended at 1am.
He said: “I can deal with being called slow if I’m picking up the winner’s cheque. You don’t get paid by the hour in snooker.
“I can’t play quite as quickly as Judd Trump, Ronnie O’Sullivan and even Shaun, but I’m not slow at all. This makes up for some of what happened in my world title win – you can’t help it when there’s not a fantastic final.” - http://www.express.co.uk
