Former world champion Neil Robertson has called for Ronnie O'Sullivan's traditional Triangle Chalk to be banned from professional snooker, claiming it 'destroys' the table and causes kicks that ruin the game. O'Sullivan, 50, lost 13-12 to John Higgins in a dramatic last-16 World Championship match at the Crucible. Robertson beat Chris Wakelin 13-7 to set up a quarter-final meeting with Higgins, saying he preferred to face the Scot to avoid dealing with O'Sullivan's controversial chalk, which leaves marks on the cloth and causes poor contact between balls.
