Marco Fu through to last 16 at Welsh Open after impressive comeback win over Graeme Dott
World number 13 continues his impressive form in 2016 as he comes back from two frames down to overcome former World Champion in Cardiff
Hong Kong’s Marco Fu Ka-Chun continued his impressive form in 2016 as he came back from two frames down to overcome former World Champion Graeme Dott 4-2 in the third round of the Welsh Open in Cardiff.
I’ve known Marco for many, many years so I know what to expect – he’s a brilliant scorer when in the balls, although he can be a bit inconsistent
The world number 13 registered his fourth win in five matches against the Scot in impressive fashion after falling behind early on.
Fu, who ended 2015 with victory at the Gibraltar Open, is looking to go further than the quarter-final stage he has reached in his last two outings in Cardiff.
The 38-year-old has not reached the final of a ranking tournament since 2013 when he was beaten by mainlander Ding Junhui 10-9 in the final of the International Championship.
World number four Robertson said he expects Fu to be at his best when the two meet on Thursday.

"I was on the next table to Marco, so I was watching in between frames and it seemed like he had a really good game with Graeme," said Robertson.
