Ronnie O’Sullivan and Zhao Xintong finished the opening session of their World Snooker Championship semi-final tied at 4-4, Xintong with ‘The Rocket’ continuing his bid for a history-making eighth world title.
O’Sullivan had too much for Si Jiahui in the quarter-finals, though he admitted he got “lucky” and maintains he is playing below his best during this current run in Sheffield.
