Snooker great Ronnie O'Sullivan has admitted Welsh Open champion Robert Milkins can be 'very off-putting' for opponents, following the 46-year-old's final victory over Shaun Murphy last weekend.
Milkins secured the Welsh crown after winning a nail-biting clash 9-7 over world No. 11 Murphy in Llandudno on Sunday. The victory was just the Englishman's second at ranking level, after securing his first at the 2022 Gibraltar Open where he became the tour's oldest first-time winner since 1988.
Despite taking the long route round to becoming a tournament champion, Milkins has earned the respect of arguably the sport's greatest ever player in O'Sullivan.
