Ronnie O’Sullivan has cast doubt on ambitions for a record-equalling seventh World Championship title, saying snooker is just a hobby to him and he’d happily skip the sport’s most prestigious event if he had a better offer.
O’Sullivan put his shock defeat in the European Masters final to Chinese youngster Fan Zhengyi on Sunday behind him with a comfortable 4-0 win over James Cahill at the Welsh Open - making three half-century breaks to move into the last 64, where he will face Belgian Lukas Kleckers.
