For the world of snooker, the appearance of "rocket" Ronnie O'Sullivan undoubtedly added infinite brilliance to the sport. O'Sullivan is the most talented player, and his left and right bows and wind-like speed are his most representative characteristics. Before he was born, you had never seen such a magical snooker player. He was so willful, so proud, but he was still able to go to the top of the world. Over the years, it seems that the player who has become accustomed to controlling emotions will become the greatest representative. But O'Sullivan completely broke people's stereotypes, and he told everyone with his actions that talent can also make up for emotional weaknesses.
O'Sullivan's willfulness is highly sought after
Willfulness is a distinctive feature of O'Sullivan, and when he wants to win a game, he prepares well for the game and strives to give it his all. When he doesn't want to play, he can give the chance to win. Henchron would even be withdrawn from the match against Hendry, leaving a stunned face of opponents and fans. O'Sullivan never dealt with anyone, and in an interview with reporters, he directly staged the smoking scene. When dissatisfied with the behavior of his opponents, he also directly started a scolding war. Even in the face of the referee, he dared to go up and say a few words of greeting. However, it is this O'Sullivan that makes him highly respected, and even today, O'Sullivan is still very willful. As long as he is forced to play a game, he will make a mess. But people will always like him like this.
Pride makes O'Sullivan look down on many players
In O'Sullivan's career, his achievements are undoubtedly very impressive. But at the same time, his pride is unmatched. In O'Sullivan's mind, his opponents were only talented players, no one else. Even a great player like Selby, O'Sullivan never saw him as his real opponent. There are only four players who can really be O'Sullivan's opponents: Hendry, Higgins, Ding Junhui and Trump. And these four players are all talented players, and their performance at their peak moments is really amazing. With the exception of the four of them, O'Sullivan looks down on almost every other professional player. While Robertson is outstanding, Selby has a lot of success, and there are many players who have performed very well. But they were never O'Sullivan's opponents, because O'Sullivan's opponents had always been only geniuses, and the root of all this was his pride.
O'Sullivan's legend transcends human limits
Snooker is one of the hardest sports in the world, which is one of the reasons why players who work on the sport tend to age more easily. But O'Sullivan doesn't seem to be limited by the difficulty of the sport, but instead makes snooker incredibly simple. Both the left and right hands can hit the ball, the difference in strength does not exceed 20%, which is the only one in snooker's history, and his comprehensive strength is the strongest presence in snooker history. Whether it's possession, accuracy, defense, or the use of strokes and situation control, O'Sullivan is one of the world's top presences. To date, O'Sullivan has won 73 championship trophies, 38 ranking titles, 20 three-time champions, and six Grand Slams are his unique labels. In the field of snooker, no one can do better than him, and no one can surpass his greatness. If snooker has a limit, the name of that limit is Ronnie O'Sullivan. His emotional control was not good, and he was even deeply confused in the early days of his career, but all this still could not defeat him. By the time he reached the end of his career, his achievements were already the first in history. But what's even more surprising is that his legend is still not over, even though his current performance has exceeded human limits.
