Jimmy White picks out what Ronnie O’Sullivan needs to do ahead of World Championship

Jimmy White Ronnie OSullivan Masters Rocket World Championship Ding Junhui

Snooker pundit Jimmy White has told Ronnie O'Sullivan what he needs to do ahead of this year's Snooker World Championship.

The Rocket will aim for a record-breaking eighth world title at the Crucible in four months time. The World No.1 suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Martin Gould at last month's English Open. During the Christmas break O'Sullivan jetted off for a mystery Christmas break to Dubai and White hoped that the Rocket had been 'practicing hard' ahead of next week's triple crown event.

Talking about the upcoming Masters with Eurosport former world champion White said a major tournament victory would be perfect for O'Sullivan ahead of April's world championships.
