Ronnie O’Sullivan Eyes Record Eighth World Snooker Championship Win to Cap Best Season Yet

Ronnie O’Sullivan is gearing up for the World Snooker Championship with the hopes of clinching his best-ever season in the sport. The 48-year-old snooker legend has already secured victories at the UK Championship and The Masters for the eighth time each, and now has his sights set on completing the ‘Triple Crown’ at the Crucible.

O’Sullivan is set to face Welsh qualifier Jackson Page in his opening match on Wednesday and believes that his game is in good shape. However, he acknowledges that in snooker, anything can happen, and a first-round exit is just as likely as lifting the trophy for an eighth time to break the record he shares with Stephen Hendry.

Despite the uncertainties, O’Sullivan remains confident in his abilities, stating, “I still think I’ve got another one or two world titles in me. As long as I feel young around the snooker table, age is just a number.” He reflects on his longevity in the sport, mentioning that he thought he was finished at 35 but continues to compete at the highest level.

Looking ahead to the possibility of completing the Triple Crown, O’Sullivan expresses his excitement, calling it a great achievement in snooker. He also hints at the potential for the World Snooker Championship to move to Saudi Arabia in the future, citing the country’s ability to host major events and elevate the tournament to new heights.

As O’Sullivan prepares to make his mark at the Crucible once again, fans are eager to see if he can add another historic win to his illustrious career. With his talent, experience, and determination, O’Sullivan is certainly a force to be reckoned with in the world of snooker.
