His theory is that different cues will suit the various conditions that snooker players experience at each venue and throughout each event. Murphy trialled the revolutionary approach at last week’s Northern Ireland Open, much to the excitement or bewilderment of fans and onlookers. The world number seven took two cues into the arena at the Waterfront Hall for his victories over Ryan Thomerson, Marco Fu, and Sean O’Sullivan. But it wasn’t until his…

Ronnie O’Sullivan is determined to keep controversy at arm’s length as he braces for his record 31st consecutive Crucible appearance when the World Snooker Championships get under way in Sheffield on Saturday.

But less than a month after World Snooker Tour chairman Steve Dawson responded to O’Sullivan’s latest tirade by questioning his status as a role model, O’Sullivan has refused to bite and remains adamant that he will opt for…

The Red Bull driver, who enjoyed passionate home support, collided with Charles Leclerc of Ferrari as he challenged for the lead by drawing alongside him and his Red Bull team-mate world champion Max Verstappen.
