Neil Robertson began his 2003-04 Main Tour season quietly, but gradually improved his performances over the course of the season.

After early exits from the LG Cup and British Open, Neil reached the 4th round of qualifying for the UK Championship. He then progressed through all qualifying rounds of the European Open, and won the qualifying tournament for The Masters. Neil made his television debut at the Masters finals; a baptism of fire against Jimmy "The Whirlwind" White in Wembley.

Then snooker history was created in Malta at the European Open in March 2004 as Neil and fellow Australian Quinten Hann reached the quarter-finals, the first time two Australians have reached this stage of a ranking event.

Neil then reached the 5th round of qualifying for the Embassy World Championship, and towards the end of the season he qualified for the finals of the Players Championship, where he reached the 2nd round.

Having started the season unranked, Neil ended the season at 68 on the official 2 year list. This ensured his qualification for the subsequent Main Tour season, despite its reduction in size to 96 players.

Neil then set his sights on entering the world top 32 by the end of the 2004/2005 season.
