Commentators criticised Robertson's performance, but one fan claimed they were being "bias and unfair" to him and not taking into account "how Judd spoils games".

Robertson replied to the tweet and hit out at broadcasters, writing: "This is a great pick up. Judd’s all round game is incredible and most of our matches are tight affairs.

"Pundits who aren’t involved in these types of matches have no clue how hard he is to break down, there has never been a harder player to BEAT in our sport period.

"The conditions played a huge part for both us which lead to the frames being the way they were.

"Judd and I could play all out attack but at that point we are both tossing a coin who is going to win 6-1 or 6-2.

"In general for me, I had to establish being really hard to beat again (which I’ve done) as I was way too attacking the last two seasons and was getting picked off.

"The fluency will come back but having the base first to be hard to get chances against was the priority."

Another fan replied it was "British bias", with Robertson responding: "100 per cent being an Australian in the UK certainly means the punditry is very bias against and always has been for 20 years.
