Neil Robertson (born 11 February 1982)[2] is an Australian professional snooker player, who is a former world champion and former world number one. To date, he is the most successful player from outside the United Kingdom, and the only non-UK born to have completed snooker's Triple Crown,[2] having won the World Championship in 2010, the Masters in 2012 and 2022, and the UK Championship in 2013, 2015 and 2020. He has claimed a career total of 23 ranking titles, having won at least one professional tournament every year between 2006 and 2022.[2]

A prolific break-builder, Robertson has compiled over 900 century breaks in professional competition, including five maximum breaks. He became the fourth player in professional snooker history to reach the 900-century mark, after Ronnie O'Sullivan, John Higgins and Judd Trump.[3] In the 2013–14 season, he became the first player to make 100 centuries in a single season,[4] finishing with a record 103 centuries.[5][6]
