World snooker, one of the most popular games on the planet, is best followed live. There are many news sources that provide the most current information about the sport. But not all sources are equal. To keep track of the world snooker rankings you will need to spend some time reading about it. Here are some.
O'Sullivan beats Stephen Hendry to win eighth world snooker title
Ronnie O'Sullivan has become the first man to win eight world snooker titles. The 46-yearold O'Sullivan took home his seventh title at Crucible. He now matches Stephen Hendry, who holds the record with seven titles. O'Sullivan became the oldest world champion player with this win. Ronnie O'Sullivan was 6/1 for the tournament win, but he never looked at any danger against David Gilbert in the final.
O'Sullivan was leading by four frames during the evening session. The official was challenged by O'Sullivan after he made a lewd gesture. Olivier Marteel gave O'Sullivan a formal warning. O'Sullivan then asked Olivier Marteel to inspect the camera. The official said that he did not see anything, and he was cleared of the offence. WPBSA is still investigating the matter.
O'Sullivan wins four out of the next five frames
The World Snooker Championship match is in the middle of the tournament, and O'Sullivan has an edge over the world number one, Steve Davis. O'Sullivan's comfort levels are shocking to the six-time champion. Davis speaks on BBC about his record-breaking seventh world title. Trump, on the other hand, is trying to break O'Sullivan's momentum. Nevertheless, he makes several mistakes and eventually concedes the match.
O'Sullivan and Trump both made mistakes early on in the match. O'Sullivan made several costly errors in the opening session, but he was able to recover and win four of five frames. The break of 85 that he made on frame four was a world record. He is now one frame away from matching Hendry’s seven world title titles.
O'Sullivan wins with one visit
The Irishman is one of the favourites to win the world snooker championship this year and is aiming to equal the record set by Stephen Hendry with seven titles. Hendry had six titles between 1973-1978 and held the previous record. O'Sullivan is a world number one and is tipped to add another title before retiring. Ray Reardon was also beaten by O'Sullivan at 46. He was 45 when he won his world title in 1978.
The Irishman was 5-2 up when he failed to eject from a snooker in the final session. Referee Olivier Marteel accused O'Sullivan, but Trump said that he would wait until after the frame to make a decision. O'Sullivan then spoke to Eurosport in the dressing room.
Trump's comeback in world snooker
The match was in doubt for most of the match as Trump's long game was falling apart. O'Sullivan broke the table in frame 14 with a break of 87, which put him down eight frames to five. But Trump recovered from the setback and potted a brilliant long red early in the next frame. Trump's cueball ran into another red, and disappeared into the corner pockets. Trump's comeback was not over. They traded frames throughout the match to make it 10-5.
Trump reacted well to the pressure of the final, but he was unable to take advantage of it. Trump's attempt to win the title of world snooker champion was hindered by his inability to focus during the morning session. He was warned by referee Olivier Marteel, and did not look happy when players came back in the evening session. Trump threatened to continue his comeback hitting a run for 73 but soon lost his concentration. O'Sullivan regained some of his composure after the 10th frame but he needed to take a rest.
