It's not often that Ronnie O'Sullivan meets his match, but he appears to have done just that in the run-up to the return of snooker 's World Mixed Doubles.
That's after 'The Rocket' was paired with fellow world No. 1 Reanne Evans—ex-partner of old rival Mark Allen —for the comeback event. The tournament will consist of four mixed pairs and runs from September 24 to September 25, the first doubles championship of its kind to be held since 1991.
Judd Trump, Mark Selby and Neil Robertson are the other men's professionals taking part, and they've been paired with Ng On Yee, Rebecca Kenna and Nutcharut Wongharuthai, respectively. However, it was O'Sullivan and Evans' union that got fans talking.
