O’Sullivan’s current World Cup selection
O’Sullivan gave an explanation,
revealing his current favourite for the championship: “Judd is a warrior and for me he is favourite for Sheffield, but I have three months to try and get some consistency in my game.”
“It will be nice to go there and enjoy it.”
Why is Ronnie not the front-runner for the Crucible?
Ronnie O’Sullivan doesn’t think he’s the frontrunner to win this year’s World Snooker Championship.
After winning his third major title in as many days, last night, the undefeated O’Sullivan remarked, “Sheffield is a different animal and is three sessions.”
Playing against diverse opponents makes it easier to become enraged. You put the match behind you and start over, but you don’t really experience that reset when you play the same opponent over three or four sessions.
“Since 2020 [when O’Sullivan defeated Kyren Wilson], winning in Sheffield largely comes down to consistency.
“If I can find a bit of steadiness, then I’ve got a chance.”
Ronnie believed he would lose 10-1.
In retrospect, O’Sullivan remarked about his second title-winning comeback victory: “Judd dominated the table 4-0.
“And I thought, ‘This could be a 10-1 job, an early night.'”
I was able to pick up a few frames, and when 5-3 gave me some hope, I decided to simply go out there and try, enjoy the fight, and see what would happen.
Judd is a warrior and the clear favourite to win the world championship, so you will have to fight him.”
“Better than he’s ever been,” says O’Sullivan
Although the Rocket is approaching 50 years old, he maintains that he feels just as young when making shots.
“I know I’m 48, but I feel quite vibrant and I can knock 20 years off when I play snooker,” he remarked.
“I don’t think age is a problem as long as I feel young at the table.
I believe my experience is assisting me. I’ve played for a while, won a number of competitions, and picked up a lot of knowledge about the sport.
“I believe that I have improved as an all-around player over the years.

Once O’Sullivan gave up junk food and began utilising his new purchases, he saw an instant improvement in both his physical and mental well-being.
And he is certain that it helped him play some of his “best snooker” in the recent past when he defeated Ding Junhui in the semifinals.
“As the week went on, I started feeling better,” he stated.
“Against Ding, I gave some of my finest snooker matches.
“And knowing I’d have to play well to do anything against Judd gave me some confidence.”
