Week six of the Snooker Premier League arrived at the Spiceball Leisure Centre in Oxfordshire. The first game of the night saw Neil Robertson secure the first whitewash of the campaign Ding Junhui. China's number one looked very out of sorts and was only given one shot in the first frame as Robertson cleared up to the black ball with a score of 120. Ding was given a few more shots in the second frame but missed easy red which Robertson capitalised on to win 74-33. The pattern occurred again but Robertson did make a few fouls yet still won the frame 72-44. Robertson nearly recorded another century break but missed a brown to win 97-22 in the fourth frame. Ding only scored seven points in the penultimate frame and that was from a foul on the black from Robertson, who went on to score another 87 points to make it 5-0. Ding looked dishevelled at this point and again failed to muster the win in the final despite chances and Robertson won 73-25. This puts Robertson on three points from three games whereas Ding is on four but only has Fu left to play which will be next week.
Like last week the first game was quite a fast pace but the second game was very scrappy, it was between Mark Williams and Marco Fu. Fouls were made throughout the game and Fu just scraped the first frame 63-45. The second frame was Fu's turn to score 45 and lose the frame as Williams scored 54 to equalise. Following the momentum, Williams secured a 104 break to take the lead in the third frame 125-0. But Fu battled back in a game that had draw written all over it, as he won the fourth frame 66-9. Fu then turned the score around again to guarantee himself a point winning 122-3 but only scored a break of 78. Both players deserved a point for an evenly matched game and that's exactly what both players got as Williams comprehensively won the final frame with another century break of 122. The point puts Williams on top of the league with five points from four games and Fu has four points from four games.
