Neil Robertson took the fight right up to four-time champion John Higgins before falling just short in their world snooker championship quarter-final in Sheffield.
The two former champs couldn't be separated after the second of their three sessions on Wednesday (local time), with the pair sharing the eight frames to leave the Australian 9-7 ahead in the race to 13 heading into the deciding session.
However, the Scotsman fought back strongly to eke out a 13-10 victory and seal a place in his 12th career semi-final at the event.
