Ali Carter to Face Ronnie O’Sullivan in Tour Championship Quarter-Final

ALI CARTER will resume his rivalry with Snotgate nemesis Ronnie O’Sullivan on Wednesday as he faces off against the Rocket in the Tour Championship quarter-finals.

The Captain secured his spot in the last eight after a hard-fought 10-8 victory over Barry Hawkins in the first round in Manchester. Despite holding a commanding lead of 7-1 and then 9-5, Carter had to withstand a late fightback from The Hawk to seal the win.

The tension between the two players has been palpable, with O’Sullivan firing back at Carter’s accusations, calling for him to “sort his life out” and seek counseling.

The Essex boys have a long-standing rivalry that adds an extra layer of intrigue to their upcoming match. Carter, undeterred by the drama, expressed his readiness to face the challenge of playing against O’Sullivan, whom he considers the greatest player in the history of snooker.

With the World Championship on the horizon, Carter sees the match as a valuable opportunity to hone his skills and gain experience against a formidable opponent like O’Sullivan.

The clash between Carter and O’Sullivan promises to be a thrilling spectacle, with both players eager to come out on top in their ongoing feud on the snooker table. Fans can expect high drama and intense competition as the two rivals battle it out for a spot in the semi-finals of the Tour Championship.
