Jack Lisowski says his World Championship bid is being inspired by Ukraine even though he has been blocked from wearing the country's flag on his waistcoat.

“I beat him twice before, I am putting that one down to the tip! To just pip him at the end is incredible.” It was an amazing feeling and an amazing match.

Jack Lisowski beat pre-tournament favourite Neil Robertson in a “Crucible classic” to reach the quarter-finals of the World Championship.

Robertson cleared up and was close to victory at 55-0 ahead in the next frame before playing safe on a red. Robertson then cleared up expertly to make the fifth 147 of his career. A well-compiled break saw Lisowski move 53-12 ahead before he missed an attempted double to the middle pocket. “In that last frame they missed a couple of balls each which is understandable, they are only human, and Lisowski has come of age. That was a Crucible classic, it had absolutely everything. Jack showed us how good he is, an incredible victory for him."

Neil Robertson racked up a maximum break but crashed out of the World Championship in a 13-12 defeat to Jack Lisowski.

It was an incredible match and it was played in the right way. "I was praying it wasn’t going to go to a decider. "I feel like I’m starting to get a bit of rhythm going. If I’d gone on to win here, it would probably have been the greatest season anyone has had in the sport. "I held it together well out there. But the 30-year-old was frequently let down by careless shot choice, and a poor safety in the next let in Robertson to clear the colours and narrow the deficit to two frames.

Neil Robertson could hear the commentary as he was doing it and he still made it. One minute I looked like I was going 11-7 up; the next minute, he's made a maximum and it is 10-10 and my head is spinning. It was an incredible match and it was played in the right way. I heard that Jack [Lisowski] had made a good clearance and that noise kind of spurred me on. "I had a magical moment to go 10-9 with the 147. If I'd gone on to win here, it would probably have been the greatest season anyone has had in the sport.

Jack Lisowski beat pre-tournament favourite Neil Robertson in a “Crucible classic” to reach the quarter-finals of the World Championship - aided by shots ...

Neil Robertson became just the eighth player in snooker history to make a 147 break at the Crucible on Monday night, only to lose 13-12 to Jack Lisowski.

But Lisowski replied with a gutsy clearance to force the first deciding frame of the tournament. To top it off with a 147 in front of a packed crowd, just the cherry on the cake." Neil's the best player in the world at the moment, he was the worst draw for me. Robertson's maximum began with a mid-range red before potting the black to return it to its spot. "We all know what's going on, and I should have the flag on my waistcoat, but I'm not allowed to wear it for whatever reason. "It's on the bucket list of every snooker player, your dream to make one here.

“I’ve had the absolute season of dreams. The former world number one lifted his only World Championship title in his lone appearance in the final in 2010. Lisowski made breaks of 88 and 72 to turn the tide in a fittingly dramatic conclusion to one of the tournament’s most riveting encounters.

If I’d gone on to win here, it would probably have been the greatest season anyone has had in the sport. “I wasn’t sure he believed in himself enough to win that game, but that is a huge, huge win for him and especially to do it in the way he did.” But the 30-year-old was frequently let down by careless shot choice, and a poor safety in the next let in Robertson to clear the colours and narrow the deficit to two frames. The pre-tournament favourite achieved the 12th 147 in Crucible history in the 19th frame of the match but it was not enough to prevent his shock 13-12 loss to the tournament’s 14th seed.

Neil Robertson produced the 12th maximum break in Crucible history but was beaten 13-12 by Lisowski, who will now face John Higgins.

Higgins began the session with an 11-5 lead and, after the players had won a frame each, Saengkham came agonisingly close to a maximum break, reaching 112 before hitting a tough last red into the jaws of the top pocket. Trump, the 2019 champion, had led 10-6 and 11-7 before successive breaks of 78, 77 and 124 moved the tenacious McGill to within one frame at 11-10. It was an incredible match and it was played in the right way. That appeared to have swung the match in Robertson’s favour as he produced back-to-back breaks of 79 and 60 to take the lead. Mark has already said he’s not going to retire, and Ronnie, who knows? On the other side of the arena, Judd Trump edged past Anthony McGill 13-11 before paying tribute to Lisowski, a close friend.
