Yesterday Ronnie O’Sullivan kicked off his World Championship final against Ali Carter in Sheffield and left us with two incredible highlights.
The Rocket took a 5-7 lead over Carter after yesterday’s first session of the World Snooker Championship final but his performance will perhaps be best remembered for his incredible clearance in frame seven, which we’ve embedded in the above clip.
In fact, the clearance was so impressive that the YouTube uploader referred to it is “like when you cheat & play a video game in God-mode and the computer keeps repeating “Legendary, Legendary” to you”.
Yet there was more to come as another highlight of Ronnie’s yesterday was his 141 total clearance in the next frame, which is quite simply as good as it gets from the Rocket. Take a look below:
Though Ronnie is chasing his fourth world title, he told The Independent that the sport’s biggest players should be wary of burning out.
“You sense there’s always the pressure of World Snooker squeezing you at every opportunity,” said O’Sullivan. “For the good of the players it would be good if a lot of us could get together and say we’re not happy with certain things and that we’d like a fairer system.
Everyone wants to do well and Barry’s [World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn] entitled to make good out of snooker, but I also think the players should be considered. I don’t think the players have been taken into consideration.”
