Ronnie O'Sullivan claims Shaun Murphy's scathing criticism is 'water off his back' - after he was blasted as a bad ambassador for snooker.
World No.1 O'Sullivan brushed off Murphy's blistering rant after whitewashing Zhou Yuelong 6-0 in York to remain on course for his eighth UK Championship crown. Murphy had described O'Sullivan's apparent ambivalent attitude towards the sport that has made him a multi-millionaire as 'extremely irritating.'
O'Sullivan is still considered the man to beat as he approaches his 47th birthday, and is red-hot favourite for another Triple Crown title at the Barbican Centre after breezing through his opening two matches.
