After Rocket gave snooker opponent Ronnie O’Sullivan advice, John Higgins responds to him.
Higgins has also reached a string of big finals since winning his last title but has been unable to get over the line in any of them. He was recently singled out for criticism by O’Sullivan, who believes that his rival needs to ‘push the boundaries’ as he bids to rediscover his best form.
“I think he [John] has got to push the boundaries a bit more,” said O’Sullivan. “He is such a good player that if he came out and played with that aggressiveness, I think he would scare people more. No one likes playing someone that is coming at you at 100mph constantly.
“When someone backs off a bit you can get comfortable in the match and John has got to stop letting people feel comfortable against him. When you get to the business end of tournaments, average is not going to do it.”
