Robert Milkins

Robert Milkins secured his first career ranking title at the 2022 Gibraltar Open, defeating Kyren Wilson 4-2. This landmark victory not only showcased his skill but also made him the oldest first-time winner of a ranking event since Doug Mountjoy in 1988, a significant accomplishment following six previous semi-final appearances without progressing to a final. A year later, Milkins continued his impressive momentum by clinching his second ranking title at the 2023 Welsh Open, triumphing over Shaun Murphy with a decisive 9-7 score. Notably, he entered this prestigious tournament as a 125/1 outsider, underscoring the exceptional nature of his performance.

In 2023, he delivered a memorable display of resilience, mounting an extraordinary comeback from a 2-7 deficit against Joe Perry to win their last 32 match 10-9, highlighting his competitive spirit and strategic prowess in critical moments.
