FEELING SHARP: Mark Selby
After overcoming two-time Champion of Champions winner Robertson at the Mattioli Arena, Leicester, he was last night taking on world No.1 Judd Trump in the final.
The opening frame of the semifinal set the tone for a tactical contest, with Selby edging ahead after a missed red from Robertson.
The Jester then doubled his lead in style, compiling a superb 126 to take command early in the match.
