NEIL ROBERTSON whitewashed fellow former world champion Stuart Bingham 10-0 to win the World Grand Prix for the second time in Hong Kong.

Robertson won all eight frames in the opening session and wrapped up a victory when play resumed to claim the 25th ranking title of his career and move ahead of Mark Selby in the all-time winner’s list.

The £180,000 top prize also lifts Robertson from 19th to 11th in the world rankings and effectively secures his place as a seed in the World Championship at the Crucible.

Breaks of 87, 104, 71 and 59 gave Robertson a 4-0 lead and the left-hander stole the fifth and sixth frames as well before a break of 78 made it 7-0.

Bingham, who was appearing in his first ranking final in six years, looked set to finally get off the mark following a break of 63 in frame eight, only for Robertson to clear up with a 66 to win on the black.

Robertson duly completed the fourth ever whitewash in a two-session ranking final, the Australian having inflicted that fate on Zhou Yuelong in 2020 with a 9-0 win in the final of the European Masters.
