According to the latest news from the British media on September 23, 2021, snooker star John Vigo firmly believes that Ronnie O'Sullivan is the greatest athlete in British snooker history, although the six-time world champion has not performed well in recent competitions. O'Sullivan has won 37 ranking titles since becoming a snooker pro in 1992, and he won his sixth world title by beating Karen Wilson 18-8 in last year's Crucible final. In addition, O'Sullivan has won seven British Championships, and although he is less than three months away from his 46th birthday, the great player is still ranked third in the world.
Vigo: O'Sullivan is the best player in England
Vigo got a close look at O'Sullivan's career as a great player and snooker expert, and he had no doubt that O'Sullivan was the best player in snooker history. O'Sullivan's unquestionable abilities have led Vigo, the host, to believe that a six-time world champion could have won more matches. Vigo said: "Let me clarify one thing, and that is that Ronnie O'Sullivan is definitely the greatest player I've ever met. I find it absolutely surprising that the fact that he can do it with any of his own hands adds directly to the mystery of how a man can play snooker so well. He's the best player, and any player is far inferior to him, which is the conclusion I've come down from years of watching. ”
Vigo: O'Sullivan wins ten world championships
In Vigo's opinion, if O'Sullivan can be sober or serious, he has every chance to win 10 world championships. Vigo said: "O'Sullivan is the best player I have ever seen, his talent and performance are incredible. If he could have been a little more sober in his head or his approach to the game more seriously, he would have a good chance of winning 10 world championships, and I've always believed that. I did a lot of exhibition games with him, and when he played, I would say, I was taken aback by what he did at the pool table because his performance was really horrible. If you see yourself as his opponent, you may only be able to describe your own suffering as unfortunate. I don't mean touting O'Sullivan, I'm just telling everyone what I see and how it's all been my experience. ”
Vigo: We should enjoy O'Sullivan's game
Vigo firmly believes that players like O'Sullivan are rare, so as snooker fans, we should cherish them. He said: "Ronnie O'Sullivan is a lovely lad, don't make a mistake, he's really a cute guy. When we have him, we should enjoy our time and the game with him. In three months, O'Sullivan will turn 46 and hopefully snooker fans will cherish it all while they can still enjoy O'Sullivan's unique talents. Being with O'Sullivan, like with Alex Higgins, when Higgins is a little bit downhill, you're not going to appreciate other people's games and performances until they're gone. O'Sullivan isn't going to live forever, he's the best athlete ever produced in England, and we don't know when we'll produce the next better athlete or when a truly more talented genius will emerge. We should enjoy O'Sullivan's time with us in the game and should also thank him for the quality he brings to Snooker. We should enjoy these talents of his because we don't know when the next player like this will come up again. For now, all we can do is enjoy it all. ”
