World number four Neil Robertson thrashed Shaun Murphy 13-6 to become the first man through to the World Championship quarter-finals.

The 2010 champion led 10-6 heading into the evening session and his third ton of the match stretched his lead.

A break of 88 put the Australian within one frame of victory against the world number 13 – a target he reached by scoring his ninth break of 50 plus.

He will play either Stuart Bingham or John Higgins in the last-eight.
