Neil Robertson completed an unprecedented eighth 6-2 win in the first round of the Masters as he advanced past Chris Wakelin into the quarter-finals.<\/b><\/p>\n

Wu Yize started the sequence when he defeated defending champion Shaun Murphy on Sunday at Alexandra Palace.<\/p>\n

And by the time world number one Judd Trump progressed past Ding Junhui on Wednesday afternoon, the odds of such a remarkable run of repeat scorelines were at 44,000-1.<\/p>\n

No more than four first-round contests had previously ended 6-2 at any Masters tournament, but when two-time winner Robertson made superb back-to-back century breaks after the interval to establish a 4-2 advantage, a clean sweep appeared inevitable.<\/p>\n

Wakelin, making only his second appearance at the Masters, as a last-minute replacement<\/a> for record eight-time champion Ronnie O’Sullivan, was unable to arrest the trend.<\/p>\n

“I wasn’t even thinking about winning the match – I was thinking just win it 6-2,” joked Robertson on BBC Four. <\/p>\n

“I didn’t know if someone in the audience had maybe had a pound on all the matches being the same scoreline or something. It is amazing. I hope I have made someone a multi-millionaire. I have never seen anything like that before.”<\/p>\n

Seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry, added: “It is phenomenal. You would normally at least three 6-5 scores because of the nature of the tournament. <\/p>\n

“It has been incredible. After the interval players have really stepped up.”<\/p>\n

Ken Doherty, who won the 1997 world title, echoed those comments, adding: “I have never seen anything like this in snooker.”<\/p>\n

Australia’s Robertson, who knocked in superb breaks of 116, 135 and 102, will now face Kyren Wilson in the last on Friday (19:00 GMT).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
