Ronnie O'Sullivan's dream of a record breaking eighth world title win was shattered after a storming comeback from Luca Brecel.
'The Rocket' went into today's third session leading 10-6, needing just three frames to secure a place in the semi final. Instead, a bullish Brecel dominated proceedings, winning seven straight frames to prevail 13-10.
Playing with the air of a man with little to lose, Brecel showed real aggression as he took on difficult pots, but in truth O'Sullivan seemed a shadow of the man whose lit up The Crucible so frequently in the past.
