Snooker's best player, Ronnie O'Sullivan, was in a big fight at the German Masters qualifiers not long ago, but even so, most fans still think that O'Sullivan's status is unshakable, including many snooker celebrities.
Alain McManus, the 1994 Masters champion, officially chose to retire after last season's World Championships, and after retiring McManus moved to his job as his favorite media commentator.
In fact, as early as before retiring, Manus often served as a guest on major snooker commentary programs in the United Kingdom, and more than once expressed his love for O'Sullivan in the show, and recently in the British "Talking Snooker" program, Manus praised O'Sullivan again.
In this show, it was discussed which player was the greatest player in snooker history, and Manus did not hesitate to give his own answer, in his heart O'Sullivan deserved to be the first, even Hendry could only be second.
Manus said: "In this sport, O'Sullivan can definitely be called a great player, he has brought snooker back to life, although he is always so fond of trouble, but I think no one will not like to watch him play.
The question of who is the best player in Snooker history continues to emerge every season, and of course everyone has a different answer in mind, and in the case of Manus, hendry is no match for O'Sullivan.
Manus: With the exception of O'Sullivan, I'm willing to tie Hendry with Higgins in second place, and while fans today are gradually forgetting Hendry's former glory, don't forget that he ruled for an era.
I believe that no one will be able to break Hendry's record of winning the World Championship for five consecutive years, and this achievement will never happen again. And Higgins is the most well-rounded player in my heart, and any player who encounters him will feel helpless.
In many previous shows, many media people thought that O'Sullivan was not qualified to surpass Hendry to get the title of the greatest player in history, but Manus obviously did not think so.
Manus: In my opinion, O'Sullivan's game has no limitations, he is not afraid of any player, his own style can break all the shackles in the game, Hendry is of course very great, but after comparison, you will find out how different O'Sullivan is.
As Manus said, O'Sullivan's self-contained personality throughout his career has garnered a large number of fans, and his reluctance to be bound by rules has also been supported by many fans.
In the end, Manus also gave the ranking of the next few players, he put the "king of the ball" Davis in third place, followed by Mark Selby and Mark Williams, but in Manus's mind, "Uncle Ma" was far ahead of Selby in popularity.
Manus: Although Selby has more World Championships than Williams today, Williams is obviously more popular with fans, he is always able to get people's attention, and at his age I really can't find anyone who can attract fans so much.
Of course, this is only the ranking of the best players in history in Manus's mind, and I believe that for domestic fans, there are also the greatest snooker players in their hearts. #斯诺克 #
