The latest news on May 3, 2022, Beijing time, world snooker legend Jimmy White said in an interview that O'Sullivan is fully capable of winning 10 world championship trophies, as long as the seven-time world champion can use his ability correctly. In the World Championship final, which ended in the early hours of this morning, O'Sullivan defeated world number four Trump 18-13 to become the first seven-set Grand Slam and 39-title winner in snooker history. But White believes that O'Sullivan's legend is far from over, and it can even be said that this is just another beginning of O'Sullivan's legendary career.
White: O'Sullivan wins 10 world titles
While O'Sullivan's controversial stories came up during his victory at the World Championships, you can tell from these stories how seriously he takes the game. White said: "I think winning the World Championships is just a whole new beginning for O'Sullivan because he knows he still has the ability to win. You know, for a player who is almost 47 years old, winning the World Championship is undoubtedly very difficult. What's more, the opponent he defeated was Trump. In fact, such an experience will undoubtedly increase O'Sullivan's determination and confidence in winning. So I have every reason to believe that if O'Sullivan uses his abilities correctly, he can win 10 world championship trophies, and there is no doubt about it. ”
White: O'Sullivan taught Trump a lesson
Although Trump has become an important figure in snooker promotion and history, he still seems a little naïve in front of O'Sullivan. White said: "Most people will feel that O'Sullivan is the greatest player of all time and his match with Trump is like a master training class. Trump is his fan, his audience, his followers. He seems to be using some practical actions to tell the young man who can take over in the future what he should do in the game. He was relaxed during the game, walking around the table and frantically staging his smooth hitting. His mother-ball control always reached his ideal position, and Trump performed less than his normal expectations. He didn't put too much pressure on O'Sullivan, which made O'Sullivan stronger and stronger. ”
White: O'Sullivan is going higher
While many fans believe O'Sullivan will lose his fighting spirit after completing seven Grand Slam sets, as he is already a veritable first man in history, this does not even leave any chance for controversy. But White believes O'Sullivan will never stop there, because he knows O'Sullivan is seeking to go higher. White said: "The pursuit of game victory is like a genetic fate for O'Sullivan, and he certainly won't stop there because it's not the life he wants. Snooker is like his right hand to O'Sullivan, and if one day he does leave here, I'm sure his heart will be sad because he loves the sport so much. No one in this world would consider snooker as important as life, except O'Sullivan. As long as he doesn't lose interest in snooker, I'm sure he'll stick with it and will continue to go higher. This is O'Sullivan's pursuit, he is not a person who is content with the status quo, what he wants to do is to create new historical heights. Continuing to pursue the championship and creating more records is his motivation, so his legendary path continues because he will not stop. ”
