Emergency door alarm distracts Neil Robertson from taking a shot during English Open win over Elliot Slessor
The Australian was about to take a shot in the opening exchanges of the third frame when an alarm suddenly went off at the Brentwood Centre arena.
“Alarm bells ringing, literally,” laughed Dave Hendon on Eurosport commentary.

“Well, not ideal is it, really?”
“I tell you what, at least it didn’t happen about five minutes ago when he was trying to make that clearance,” Hendon added.
“You’ve got to love the snooker, haven’t you? This is comical, really.”

“I think the stare worked,” quipped Joe Johnson when the alarm finally ended, referring to the furious facial expression from Robertson.
“We’ve been told someone has opened the door in the practice room, one of these emergency doors you’re not supposed to open. So who’s done that?
“But anyway, it seems to have been resolved so we carry on.”
The disruption failed to deter Robertson as he went on to secure victory in comfortable fashion, setting up a last-16 tie with Ryan Day.
