Snooker star not interested in Ronnie O’Sullivan words ahead of Masters challenge

Former finalist Kyren Wilson will take his place in the 2023 Masters firmly focussed on his snooker, and not the controversial words of Ronnie O'Sullivan.

The game's biggest star has divided opinion of late, insisting snooker "isn't worth a stress" and claiming he no longer cares if he wins or loses. His words upset some stars a nd prompted a verbal feud with Shaun Murphy, but Wilson hasn't engaged with the fallout.

“I don’t pay any interest in any of it to be honest," he told Mirror Sport. "If that’s his attitude then it’s obviously not done him too bad of late has it? He’s still playing very, very good snooker. You don’t become a world champion again by not playing very well. So he’s obviously still at the top of the tree in our sport and is still the man to beat.”
