Robertson ends nightmare day with Berlin exit

World champion Neil Robertson was dumped out of the German Masters last night - and he'll wish he never even made the trip.

At one point, his participation in the event was in doubt as he lost his passport before jetting off.

Luckily for him though, he found his documents. But that wasn't the end of his misery, as he was beaten 5-4 by a confident Anthony Hamilton.

It's difficult to say for certain that the Aussie's passport fiasco had an effect on the outcome of this match, but you suspect the world number two didn't go into this match as focused as he may normally have been.

It's one of those days he'll just have to resign as a bad day at the office. I recommend he doesn't lose too much sleep over the matter though.

These kind of errors can happen to the best of us, and Robertson is definitely one of the best of us in snooker terms.

I've heard some people criticising him for his lack of professionalism, and bemoaning why these kinds of incidents regularly seem to happen in the Robertson camp.

He may be a world champion, but people forget he's still only a young lad, and a great player at that. Get off his back!
