Hong Kong MastersHong Kong Masters as it happened – O'Sullivan hits back to sink Robertson and set up final with Fu10 HOURS AGO «I think Neil was the better player, but I just hung in there,» said O'Sullivan. «I tried hard and got a bit lucky tonight. Neil played so good from 1-0 down to lead 4-1.

I don't think I potted a ball, but sometimes the game can become too easy and maybe he just lost concentration. »Once you miss one ball, you start to miss a few more balls and that is the way it went today." «Marco is one of the nicest guys on the circuit. He hasn't played much snooker over the past two or three years, but it just shows you the class of the player he is.

He's come here this week, beats Mark Selby, a top player, John Higgins, an all-time great, then a 147.» O’Sullivan won the opening frame comfortably, before he missed a black off the spot when on course to double his lead.
