Chris Wakelin withstood a stirring Crucible comeback from Neil Robertson to beat the Australian former champion 10-8 and seal his place in the second round of the World Snooker Championship for the first time.
The 33-year-old from Rugby, who had not won a match at the famous venue in three previous attempts, resumed with a 7-2 lead but was rooted in his seat as Robertson reeled off five frames on the bounce to haul the match back level.
