""I would prefer to play John so I don't have to contend with the chalk that Ronnie uses, which should be banned from the game. I don't know how you are allowed to even use it.""
""All the players hate it, it just destroys it. You get kicks, bounces and it makes an absolute mess of the table.""
""I know he [O'Sullivan] is friends with [artist] Damien Hirst, but it's like he is making artwork with the chalk all over the cloth.""
O'Sullivan's hopes for a record eighth world title were dashed by John Higgins in a close 13-12 match. Higgins faced a notable kick during the deciding frame but managed to win. O'Sullivan continues to use traditional Triangle Chalk, unlike most players who prefer Taom Chalk, which minimizes kicks. Robertson expressed relief at avoiding O'Sullivan, criticizing the chalk for causing issues during play. He noted that all players dislike it and called for a ban, while he himself is in good form after defeating Wakelin 13-7.
