Ronnie O’Sullivan returns to Sheffield’s iconic Crucible Theatre looking to win the World Snooker Championship for a record eighth time and break the current tie with Stephen Hendry. O’Sullivan matched the Scot when he lifted the trophy for a seventh time in 2022 by beating Judd Trump 18-13 in the final, more than 20 years after he’d claimed his first world title.
‘The Rocket’ is the greatest snooker player of all time and has transcended the sport like no one else, meaning there are always an army of supporters cheering him on in every match he plays. The start of his latest tilt at world title number eight will undoubtedly be eagerly anticipated and those with ticket on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon will be lucky enough to see him in action.
