Matthew Selt held his nerve to advance to the second ranking final of his career when beating Ding Junhui 6-5 in the semi-finals of the Turkish Masters. Selt, who won the Indian Open in 2019, had spoken about looking to translate his form on the practice table to the main stage.
Marco Fu has announced he is to make his return to the World Snooker Tour (WST) at the World Championship this year. The three-time ranking event winner, who has reached at least the semi-final stage of each of snooker’s triple crown events, has been a mainstay on the professional circuit since 1998.
Ronnie O'Sullivan has suggested he may opt out of the 46th World Championship at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield next month if he gets «a better offer» but is the record 38-time ranking event winner serious about missing snooker's biggest event? O'Sullivan turned professional in 1992 and is widely regarded as the snooker GOAT. He holds all of the key records in the sport apart from Stephen Hendry's seven world titles claimed in 1990, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1999. Ad/> That remains an obvious target for the World No 2 after he triumphed for a sixth time with an 18-8 win over Kyren Wilson in 2020.
Ronnie O’Sullivan has said he would like to play at three more World Championships before stepping away from the top level of the sport. O’Sullivan has won snooker’s biggest prize on six occasions, and will be among the favourites when the players descend on The Crucible in Sheffield next month. Ad/> After going over a year without a title, O’Sullivan got his hands on the World Grand Prix in December and was a beaten finalist in the European Masters at the end of February.
Ronnie O'Sullivan has won 38 ranking finals and lost 22 in a remarkable run of cue ball consistency stretching back to 1993, a year after the snooker GOAT turned professional. O'Sullivan's ranking event success spans an astonishing four decades since becoming the youngest winner of the UK Championship with a 10-6 victory over Stephen Hendry at the age of 17 years and 358 days in November 1993.
Ronnie O’Sullivan has likened the Chinese charge on snooker to the peak of men’s tennis over the past few decades, saying the top players are “pushing each other on like Federer, Djokovic and Nadal”. The six-time world champion was beaten 10-9 by Fan Zhengyi in the final of the European Masters and he has heaped praise on his opponent — before warning the UK will fall behind China if it does not focus on the grassroots game. Ad/> O’Sullivan is moving with the rest of the tour from Milton Keynes to the Welsh Open, where he’ll open his campaign against James Cahill, live on Eurosport on Tuesday.
John Higgins turns 47 in May, an age at which great players would once be furiously treading water, trying to stem an inevitable decline. Higgins, though, believes he is playing better than ever. This season he has appeared in five finals.
Nigel Bond will face Ronnie O'Sullivan for the first time since 1998 at the European Masters in Milton Keynes on Monday in what could be his final season on the World Snooker Tour circuit. 1996 British Open champion Bond met the six-time Crucible winner six times between 1994 and 1998, but has remarkably gone 24 years without locking swords with the snooker GOAT at a tournament.
