By his own admission Robert Milkins has yet to fulfil his potential.

A career-best of reaching the quarter-finals of the UK Championship shows he has not been a major contender in the big events.

He's showed he can beat the big names - Matthew Stevens was among his victims in that UK run last season - but isn't doing so consistently.

Beat Stephen Lee at this year's Welsh Open as he reached the last eight of another ranking event.

Will be looking to rediscover such form in Sheffield where a kind opening-round draw sees him up against Joe Perry.

Victory in that one would see him into the second round for only the second time.
