Ronnie O’Sullivan admits it would have been a ‘liberty’ if he won the final-frame decider against Mark Williams in a thrilling quarter-final classic at the Masters.
The Rocket was left ruing several ‘easy’ misses as his Welsh opponent came from 3-0 and 4-2 down to knock out the world champion 6-5 – his first Triple Crown win over O’Sullivan for 23 years.
The world No.1 continued his fine form from his first-round 6-1 win over Luca Brecel, taking the opening three frames with breaks of 115, 44 and 79.
