Ronnie O’Sullivan has been making waves at the World Snooker Championship, but not just for his skills on the baize! BBC pundit and former world champion John Parrott labelled O’Sullivan’s play against John Higgins as ‘evil’ following their heated Crucible clash. In an opening session of dominance, O’Sullivan stormed to a 6-2 lead with his fierce potting skills. Parrott commented, “Ronnie was pretty evil there amongst the balls.”
Currently, O’Sullivan has a 9-7 advantage against Higgins, both legends boasting an incredible 11 World Snooker Championship titles between them. As they fight for a spot in the quarter-final, Higgins did manage to rally back, closing the gap with a late comeback. Despite his strong play, Higgins faces the challenge of toppling an in-form O’Sullivan, whose confidence at the table is palpable.
O’Sullivan has been open about his struggles with consistency but now feels a rejuvenated passion for the game. “I certainly feel like I want to play now,” said O’Sullivan. Known for his candid nature, he’s excited to hit those “nice shots” again, and it seems he’s back to enjoying the game he loves.
