British snooker player Tom Ford has questioned why anyone would want to come up against Ronnie O'Sullivan.
The world No.32 will come up against a top 16 player in the UK Championship draw on Thursday after an impressive performance in qualifying. The usual big hitters will be going for glory, none more so than O'Sullivan, who could win an eighth title with victory in York next week.
While some younger players may fancy a crack at the world No.1, Ford is having none of it and believes players should be looking to progress in the tournament instead. Asked who he would like to face, Ford told Metro : "I’m not really bothered, I’m not fussed, but nobody wants Ronnie do they?
