In the latest news on November 9, 2021, Beijing time, "Rocket" Ronnie O'Sullivan said when talking about England Open champion Neil Robertson that he was very surprised by Robertson's performance of only one world champion, because in his opinion, Robertson's personal ability is far more than that. O'Sullivan believes Robertson is perfectly capable of promoting his World Championship titles to three or four, and the British Championship and Masters champions can also be promoted by about three. However, Robertson didn't do it so far, so that's what surprised O'Sullivan. Because in O'Sullivan's mind, Robertson is definitely one of the best players in the world snooker field at the moment.
O'Sullivan: Robertson's results are astonishing
Although Robertson has won one world championship, one Masters title and three British Championship trophies, O'Sullivan believes that such achievements are not a match for Robertson. O'Sullivan said: "Robertson's results are amazing, he should not have only one world championship trophy. With his personal ability, I think he will have at least three or four world championship trophies, and maybe two or three more Masters titles. I think he has that ability, and his technical and psychological qualities and other aspects all determine that. He's a very strong player and he's definitely one of the greatest players. After he gets three British Championships, I think his desire for World Championship and Masters glory will increase a lot, after all, these three together are the three major competitions. ”
O'Sullivan: Robertson's shot is enviable
If O'Sullivan wants to get a little benefit from Robertson, what he wants most must be Robertson's technical moves. O'Sullivan said: "Robertson's shot is really very enviable, and every time he makes a shot is as standard as a machine, there is no error at all. So when you know you've lost to a player like that, I don't think you're going to be sad inside, because you know he's a very strong player, so strong that you think you're fighting with a robot. Every shot he made, every pause, every stand was as standard as a textbook. So the chances of him making mistakes are very low, which also means that it's a very difficult thing for you to win from his game. If I can buy his technical moves, I think it is worth the cost. Because such actions are very beneficial, he can make you confident. ”
O'Sullivan: Robertson is motivated right now
In O'Sullivan's view, Robertson is still motivated on the road to the title, even though the English Open champion is about to turn 40. O'Sullivan said: "Although Robertson is about to turn 40, I don't see any signs of regression in him. If you compare Selby from previous years to Selby now, you will also find that there will be some regression in Selby today, but these things are not seen in Robertson at all. And since Robertson hasn't won enough world titles yet, I think he's definitely going to fight for that honor in the next few days. I'll tell you that he already has three British Championship trophies and he should be focusing on the World Championships and Masters. He will definitely be hungry for more on the three majors, because anyone knows how high the gold content of the three majors is. No matter how much you take in other competitions, if you don't have enough three major championships to support you, you may not be able to become one of the top few players. So, I know Robertson will definitely do more in the next game because he has a lot of ideas about achievement. ”
