Stephen Hendry has claimed that Ronnie O'Sullivan doesn't speak to his rivals before matches as 'The Rocket' gears up to win an unprecedented eighth world snooker title next year.
In May, O'Sullivan defeated Judd Trump to claim his seventh crown, drawing him level with the iconic Scot. And at 46, few would bet against the world No 1 surpassing that marker at the Crucible in 2023.
The English star is renowned for his charismatic ways around the table, regularly switching to play left handed in the past and once refusing to complete a 147 in protest to the prize money on offer. However, Hendry has likened O'Sullivan to himself in his prime, adopting a sultry approach towards opponents.
