Ronnie O’Sullivan will begin his quest for a record eighth World Snooker Championship title against Chinese debutant He Guoqiang after an intriguing draw for the event in Sheffield.
O’Sullivan is currently tied with Stephen Hendry on seven world titles at the Crucible Theatre and the 50-year-old has found some confidence in his game recently that suggests he could surpass the Scot and take the record outright in three weeks’ time.
