Ronnie O'Sullivan offers brutal explanation for snubbing Judd Trump handshake

Ronnie O'Sullivan says he doesn't find maximum 147 breaks "a difficult thing to do" as he brutally shrugged off criticism for not congratulating Judd Trump.

In this month's Champion of Champions final, it was O'Sullivan who held his nerve to beat his rival 10-6, as Trump failed to avenge his defeat to 'The Rocket' in the Snooker World Championship final in May. But afterwards, much of the talk centred around a mid-match incident, and not the result.

At 6-1 down and his hopes seemingly all but over, Trump racked up a majestic 147 to get himself back into the contest. But whilst the crowd roared their approval, O'Sullivan declined to congratulate or even offer a handshake to his opponent.
