O'Sullivan Versailles: I am not particularly happy to defeat Ding Junhui, it is better to lie under the covers and watch dramas

Thirty years after winning the youngest British Championship, evergreen Ronnie O'Sullivan has made even more history as he became the oldest British Championship champion in history. This is O'Sullivan's eighth British Championship trophy, as well as his 22nd three-major championship and 40th ranking tournament title.

It was in the 1993 race that this extraordinary rocket stunned Stephen Hendry, who won his first ranking title at the age of 17. O'Sullivan beat Ding Junhui 10-7 two days before his 48th birthday, making Monjoy, who won the championship in 1988 at the age of 46, lose this record.

O'Sullivan said that his motivation to play is only prize money, and even threatens the World Taiwan Federation, intending to play Chinese-style eight-ball, because the Chinese are far more generous than the British. Winning the British Championship brought him £250,000. O'Sullivan admits that his enthusiasm for snooker is weakening, and his desire for victory is not strong.

O'Sullivan Circuit of Vanill: "I wasn't with a huge smile and extreme excitement. I just do these movements a lot. Winning is great and I'm going to give my best when I'm standing there trying to win, but it's not the same level of excitement I had when I won my first World Championship, British Championship and Masters title before. It's still a nice feeling and a great job, but I go for a run in the morning or have breakfast with my friends that excites me even more. ”

Defeating Ding Junhui failed to make O'Sullivan feel full of accomplishment, and Rocket said frankly: "I don't want to play anymore." Once you're there, you'll think you're happy and you've done that, but even in today's game, I don't think I like that, I'd rather lie in my bed and watch Netflix. I feel this way all the time. ”

O'Sullivan is arrogant but emotionally intelligent, and he is especially friendly to China: "Ding Junhui has played really well all week, I've been watching all his games, his ball control is the best ever, he's never out of position, it's like watching a computer game." He is a huge inspiration to all snooker players, I am a huge fan of him and it is an honour to play against him in the final. I knew there were probably millions of viewers watching in China, so it was an amazing experience for me. ”
