Ronnie O’Sullivan opens up about playing with new tip following Welsh Open victory over Ben Mertens
Ronnie O’Sullivan says he is “enjoying the challenge” of playing with a new tip after he was forced to take action following some unwanted drama in the earlier rounds of the Welsh Open. The 47-year-old looked much more comfortable on Thursday night as he claimed a 4-0 whitewash win over Ben Mertens to reach the quarter-finals after some tip problems had previously threatened to derail his tournament. Ad Although he wasn’t at his best, O’Sullivan did make two 55 breaks and a break of 68 as he proved too strong for his young opponent.
