Ronnie O'Sullivan's Crucible Dominance

Ronnie O'Sullivan's Crucible Dominance

The 'Rocket' required just 35 minutes to wrap up his opening match, showcasing the brilliant form that has made him a seven-time world champion.

O'Sullivan revealed that he used an old cue he found under his bed in Ireland, a 'gamble' that appeared to pay off as he cruised through the second session.

The match was attended by former Manchester United star Paul Scholes, who watched as O'Sullivan dismantled his younger opponent.

Snooker fans are now eagerly awaiting the 'Class of 92' showdown between O'Sullivan and Higgins in the next round.
