The Tour Championship launched in 2019 and that is the eighth version, with Robertson a two-time former winner, so Trump knew he was not to be underestimated.
“In my eyes Neil loves to win 10-0 so I wanted to beat him 10-1 or give myself something to focus on so he didn’t get back in it,” stated the 36-year-old Englishman.
“At this point you want to beat everyone with the World Championship just around the corner. Whoever I play in the final it will be an amazing game.”
After Trump constructed on his brisk begin to develop a 6-0 lead, Australia’s Robertson celebrated with the gang when he gained body seven.
While Robertson decreased his arrears to 7-3 by successful the primary two frames when play resumed in the night, Trump closed the door on any prospect of a full-scale fightback with runs of 87 and 75 to transfer 9-3 forward.
He then traded frames together with his opponent to arrange a mouth-watering finale to the event towards Zhao or reigning champion Higgins, who start their semi-final at 13:00 BST on Saturday.
This is the final occasion for snooker’s elite gamers earlier than the World Championship begins in Sheffield on 18 April.
