World Grand Prix 2024 Snooker LIVE – Ronnie O’Sullivan takes on Gary Wilson for a place in the semi-finals

Interesting safety battle between players. No one pushed the boat out until Ronnie came up with a nice shot that rested on the back of the green with a balk cushion, but Gary responded with a contain safety. Decent shots too. However, O’Sullivan broke the deadlock with a nice pot from the red to right middle. And then there’s the mid-range pink.

Ronnie got there for the third time after several attempts to run away from Snooker, who had nominated Green. O’Sullivan failed to land a long red to black. Wilson then nails his own long red before curling up behind Brown.

Wilson breaks out the first frame of a possible nine. The first player up to 5 spots remains in his last 4 spots. O’Sullivan hit a long red straight from distance. What a great way to set up a stall.

World number one Ronnie O’Sullivan has admitted he needs to take a break from the sport after continuing his impressive run of form, defeating Chou Yuelong 4-3 in the World Grand Prix quarter-finals in Leicester.

O’Sullivan posted breaks of 67, 107, 50 and 90 to reach the quarter-finals of a ranking event for the 141st time in his gilded 32-year career, but he will face Scottish Open winner Gary Wilson on Friday.

O’Sullivan is enjoying one of his best seasons on the Pro Circuit, winning the Shanghai Masters, the British Championship and the Masters, despite a six-game winning streak against an in-form Zhou who had runs of 76 and 102. However, my grades were below. The 65-year-old man boasted his 95% pot success rate and rarely missed a quality encounter.

“I just can’t understand it,” O’Sullivan said on ITV. “I have to really think about whether I can continue to feel what I’m feeling outside. I’m not looking forward to hitting the ball.

“It’s just a lot of work. You have no idea where the ball is going to go. It’s just guessing. And it’s a struggle.”

“The worst part is that we keep winning bloody tournaments. If I was excited in the first round of every game, it would be easy to make that decision. To be honest, I don’t see any fun in it. I haven’t even gotten it.”
