Ronnie O’Sullivan and Stephen Hendry agree as snooker star ‘not enjoying’ sport
With seven world championship victories apiece, Ronnie O’Sullivan and Stephen Hendry are the two best snooker players ever.
One of snooker’s top players has cited two of the game’s all-time greats when justifying how he’s able to continue in the sport without enjoying it. Gary Wilson, a 2019 World Championship semi-finalist currently 16th in the rankings, and has now won back-to-back Scottish Open titles after beating Noppon Saengkham in the latest final in December.
He said to Metro, “Nobody can feel what you feel.” It may seem fantastic yet feel terrible. After his victory at the Scottish Open, many have told me that I’m playing fantastic, but I didn’t feel that way at all.
Similar to Stephen Hendry’s account of his final 147 at the Crucible, he claimed to have played six excellent shots and the remaining ones terrible. He looks amazing, but Ronnie repeats the same thing, guiding balls in, twitch one in there, snatch another one in!
