The British Championships were where O'Sullivan became famous, and during the 1993 tournament, O'Sullivan was under 18 years old, where he won for the first time. Now that O'Sullivan is about to turn 46, can he win here for the eighth time? O'Sullivan said that I had to ask myself to concentrate, and I enjoyed the game and played happily. At my age, it's great to be inspired by the competition, it's the second biggest event and I have a good record in this event.
