By Steve SutcliffeBBC Sport

Neil Robertson has made just one Crucible semi-final appearance since winning the world title in 2010

Neil Robertson produced a sublime display to defeat Chinese debutant Wu Yize 10-3 in the first round of the World Championship in Sheffield.

The 2010 champion started and finished with centuries, made a 58 and knocked in two wonderful 146s - the highest break of the tournament.

The Australian will face Jak Jones or Ali Carter in the next round.
