FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Ronnie o sullivan s immediate response to world championship exit sums up snooker great | History Defined

Ronnie O’Sullivan was quick to heap praise on Luca Brecel after he was dumped out of the World Snooker Championship in stunning fashion.

The Rocket - who was bidding for a record breaking eighth world title - was in complete command of his quarter-final, leading the Belgian 10-6 going into Wednesday’s afternoon session. But Brecel mounted a storming comeback, winning the final seven frames to clinch a shock 13-10 victory.

And O’Sullivan admitted that despite hitting the front in the early portion of the match, it was only a matter of time before the run of the balls changed. "He played unbelievable. He is such a good player and I love watching him. He is such a dynamic player and he is full of talent,” he told BBC Sport.
