Ronnie O’Sullivan believes he could win another snooker World Championship when he is 55, and has not ruled out winning more than one more in his career.

The 47-year-old also suggested that he might play on past his sixties, as he thinks another 15 years of professional competition is feasible.

Ad O’Sullivan current has seven World Championships to his name and while he has not been at his best in 2023, he is one of the front-runners for the title this year as he arrives as reigning champion, and probably the greatest player in the history of the sport.
