After Ronnie O'Sullivan lost 4-6 to Neil Robertson at the Masters, I believe most fans are sad in their hearts, because they know that for O'Sullivan, who is already 46 years old, the "three majors" title will be an increasingly difficult feat to complete as he gets older.
Fans who have watched the game know that O'Sullivan is not as casual as the general ranking game, but has a very serious attitude to the game, but it is reasonable to face Robertson, who has succeeded as much as 96% of the longstand, plus his own bad hand loss.
As we all know, the three major competitions have always been O'Sullivan's most important event, although after the game O'Sullivan is still the attitude of not winning or losing, but from the words in the interview, we can hear the veteran's loss.
O'Sullivan said in a post-match interview: "Neil (Robertson) made some mistakes, but I made more mistakes that shouldn't have been made, I've tried my best to make the game more aggressive, congratulations to Neil for being a very good player.
I'm not going to make any excuse for losing, Neil's performance definitely deserves this win, but you know I don't care if I win or lose, that's a thought that no one can change, and don't forget that I wasn't too excited when I won the World Grand Prix not long ago.
Although O'Sullivan still expressed his indifference to the game as usual, it was clear from the interview that he was still a little lost, and more importantly, after Robertson had decided to win the game, O'Sullivan once again bit off the skin on his club, which was enough to see that he was not satisfied with his performance.
As a 20-time winner of three major tournaments (7 Masters, 7 British Championships, 6 World Championships), O'Sulliwen has suffered a constant decline in form at the age of 46, but no one can deny that he is still one of the best players in this arena, and many of the records he has set are beyond the reach of others.
O'Sullivan said: "I will continue to chase the results of the three major competitions, and my three major achievements are a good catch-up target for young players today, just like I am still trying to win the World Championship, which is what must be done."
Fortunately, I didn't have all the records in my pocket, and I really became so confident that there are a lot of players who will have no morale, because they know that these achievements are very difficult to complete smoothly, I'm not touting myself, I just like to talk about results.
Objectively speaking, although O'Sullivan's remarks may be unacceptable to some fans, looking back on his achievements throughout his career, it will be clear that O'Sullivan has this arrogant capital, and such a personality is also an important factor in his ability to be loved by many fans and players.
O'Sullivan concluded by mentioning that Hendry's seven-time World Championship champion has always been a record he wants to break, and this goal is also the motivation that has always supported him to continue to play in snooker, O'Sullivan said that at least until he wins the World Championship, he will still like to play on the field.
Although O'Sullivan failed to complete his career Masters eight-time feat this time, he has set too many unbeatable records for fans, and it is enough to continue to watch him play on the field at this age.
