Ronnie O’Sullivan: Humble Champion Reflects on Legacy and Future in Snooker

Ronnie O’Sullivan a seven times world champion in snooker doesn’t consider himself the greatest player of all time despite his pursuit of an eighth Crucible title. As he prepares for his first-round match against Welsh qualifier Jackson Page, O’Sullivan acknowledges the achievements of players like Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis with whom he believes his legacy shares space.

He reflects on his career’s ups and downs contrasting his path with those of Hendry and Davis who had more consistent trajectories. Despite his numerous accolades including 41 ranking titles and eight Masters victories, O’Sullivan downplays the idea of being the best emphasizing the importance of enjoying the game and the freedom it provides him.

He expresses a commitment to continue playing for another five to ten years driven by his love for the sport and competitiveness. Additionally, O’Sullivan recently signed a three-year ambassadorial deal with the World Snooker Tour and Riyadh Season where he’ll mentor aspiring players and participate in Saudi Arabian events. He acknowledges the difficulty of surpassing his records but remains open to winning more titles in the future.
