Ronnie O'Sullivan has admitted he's struggling both technically and mentally at the snooker table despite being the form player in the world this year.
In May, 'The Rocket' captured his seventh World Championship crown, tying him level with previous record holder Stephen Hendry. And the world No 1 has shown no sign of slowing down since, also winning the Hong Kong Masters and this month beating Judd Trump - the same man he conquered in the final at The Crucible - to win the Champion of Champions event.
And he's now aiming for an eighth UK Championship win in York this week, and a 22nd Triple Crown title overall. His campaign got underway on Monday with a 6-2 win against fellow veteran Matthew Stevens.
