Princess Royal witnessed the snooker championship final. According to Mark Selby, Ronnie O’Sullivan has insisted that he plays the best snooker in Asia, sending a clear message to his opponents who must defeat the Rocket at the Wuhan Open. Regarding their supremacy on particular surfaces, the seven-time World Snooker Championship victor likened himself to tennis great Rafael Nadal.
O’Sullivan breezed through to claim a 5-1 win over Yuan to set up a final-eight clash with Lyu Haotian and he feels very much at home playing in Asia. The 47-year-old has likened his abilities in China to Nadal’s dominance at the French Open – where the Spanish tennis star has won an astonishing 14 times.
“I think these conditions in China suit me more than anyone else,” O’Sullivan said. “I liken it a bit to Nadal playing on clay. It forces you to play certain shots. You can be in perfect position one minute and then out of position the next. You need to be a bit of a shot-maker.
