Mark Williams insists Ronnie O'Sullivan is the best snooker player in the world 'when he tries' - despite being 'miles past' his best.
Seven-time world champion O'Sullivan proved once again why he remains the world's greatest with a stunning 10-6 victory over Judd Trump to claim his fourth Champion of Champions title on Sunday. The Rocket was imperious against his generation's next most exciting player, putting on a break-building clinic in an enthralling final in Bolton to secure his latest title.
O'Sullivan, 46, held off a spirited comeback from Trump, who produced his own moment of magic with a 147 in frame eight, to win the prestigious event. Three-time Crucible champion Williams is part of snooker's famous 'Class of 92' alongside O'Sullivan and John Higgins after the legendary triumvirate graduated as professionals three decades ago.
