Ronnie O'Sullivan tied with Stuart Bingham in Crucible quarter-final
Ronnie O'Sullivan was locked at 4-4 with Stuart Bingham following the opening session of their best-of-25 frames World Championship quarter-final at the Crucible. O'Sullivan, bidding for a record eighth world title, had looked out of sorts during the early exchanges following some wayward cueing as Bingham - who beat Jack Lisowski 13-11 on Monday night - took the first two frames with breaks of 55 and 75. Bingham, world champion in 2015, was then set for a potential maximum chance in the next, but came up short of position off the seventh red, allowing O'Sullivan back to build a break of 66 which eventually proved enough to get a first frame on the board. At the start of the last frame before the mid-session interval, O'Sullivan sent what looked a routine black into the jaws of the bottom right pocket, leaving the table set for Bingham to produce a break of 90 and further cement his advantage. 'The Rocket' returned to hit a fine 116 break and reduce the deficit with his 206th century at the Crucible. World number one O'Sullivan looked to have spurned a chance to level up after missing a red into the bottom left pocket when on a break of 43, but Bingham then failed to sink one into the middle, which allowed the world number one back to pinch the frame. Both players continued to make unforced errors, with O'Sullivan banging his cue against the table after missing an early red. However, another mistake from Bingham when attempting a long pot after running out of position gave O'Sullivan a chance to build what eventually proved a frame-winning break of 64 and - after Bingham had initially played on when needing four snookers - saw him move ahead in the match for the first time. Bingham, though, made sure he would end on

O'Sullivan said: "Every player has the right to do what they want to do. Each sportsman is a business, whether you like it or not and it's just like any other job - if you get a better offer, you're going to go. "What is a better offer? For some people it might be a reduced schedule, it might be more money. Everyone has a different idea of what is right for them and everyone has the right to make that decision for themselves.
