Robertson beat Shaun Murphy on the final black in the quarter-finals of the 2014 Wuxi Classic to win 5–4 and then beat Barry Hawkins 6–3 to reach the opening ranking event final of the 2014–15 season. He played friend and practice partner Joe Perry and from 3–0 behind rallied to lead 8–6, before Perry won three frames in a row to be one away from the title. Robertson then produced breaks of 87 and 78 to win the title 10–9 and paid tribute to Perry's influence on his own career after the match. A week later he comfortably won through to the final of his home event, the Australian Goldfields Open, without any of his opponents taking more than two frames off him.&lt;ref name="2014/15"&gt;&lt;/ref&gt; Robertson was beaten in the final of the event for the second year in a row, this time 9–5 against Judd Trump, but reclaimed the world number one spot afterwards. He then had early exits at the Shanghai Masters and International Championship and was knocked out at the semi-final stage of the Champion of Champions 6–4 by Trump.
