Leslie upbeat as he meets Robertson
The Bonnyrigg star will play a former world champion for the third event in succession after defeats to Ken Doherty and John Higgins in his last two events. Despite another difficult match in prospect, the 19-year-old is looking forward to the challenge.
Leslie said: “It’s another tough one but I think it will be a good match. I have been working hard since the Higgins match and I have had a few practice games with Marcus Campbell and Scott Donaldson so I am hopefully well prepared.”
