Recently, Snooker legend O'Sullivan has been a bit busy. As a seeded player in the World Championships, one of Snooker's most important events of the year, and a favourite to win the championship, O'Sullivan has to focus part of his energy on the game. But the game wasn't all for O'Sullivan. Recently, his new snooker-themed store opened, and he was distracted by the business of the new store. In addition to these two major events, O'Sullivan also had a "fight" with Iranian player Wafi. In addition, interestingly, he was distracted from publicly mocking a world-class player, the Snooker World Champion. It has to be said that O'Sullivan is indeed a bit busy.
For O'Sullivan, with his form and position in snooker, no matter what the event, as long as he competes, he is the favorite to win the championship. As a legendary player who has won six World Championships, O'Sullivan has only one goal, that is, to win the championship, thus chasing the record of 7 world championships held by the emperor of platform ball Hendry. But while O'Sullivan's goal is to win the title, he also seems to be the one with the biggest heart. The vast majority of players are fully engaged in preparing for the World Championships during this time period, but O'Sullivan seems to be an exception. At this time, his mentality is good enough. Not only did he not show great attention to such an important competition as the World Championships, but he had a feeling of lightness. Because what he did off the field was wonderful enough.
First, his new store opened. I have to say that in addition to being a very strong snooker player, O'Sullivan also has a good business acumen. No, after seeing the good attention of the World Championships, he chose to open his new store in the near future, taking advantage of the traffic of the World Championships to bring good attention to his new store, so as to harvest more benefits. So, in recent days, his focus is not on the World Championships, but on the opening of his new store.
Then, O'Sullivan fell into a "fight" with Wafi, a famous player who had just created the history of Iran's snooker. However, this time the fight was not provoked by O'Sullivan, but by Wafi, who was passive. Wafi thinks O'Sullivan should retire because he didn't do anything with snooker and once called the lower-ranked player a fool. "If you call someone a numpties, what kind of legend are you?" O'Sullivan naturally did not show weakness, and directly and strongly counterattacked to show that he would not only not retire, but also win the championship at this World Championship. "In three weeks, someone will be on top of the world, so hopefully that person will be me."
One side was just "fighting with Waffy", and on the other side, O'Sullivan was openly mocking a world champion. The world champion, who was mocked by him, is a world star who has been in very hot form this season and a favorite player to win the world championship at this world championship. If the fight with Waffy is passive, then the taunting robertson is O'Sullivan's initiative. According to Eurosport, in the past six months, Robertson, nicknamed "Melbourne Machine", has won four titles, including the English Open, masters, players' championship and tour championship, and is in hot form. So Robertson claims to be one of the best in the sport and considers him "the only man in snooker history who can do what he does."
However, O'Sullivan did not like to hear this, so he took the initiative to mock Robertson's remarks. "I see. A lot of people say, 'Oh, he's a great player.' 'Well, no, he's a very, very good player,' but to be a very, very good player, but to be a great very great player, great player, you have to be at least 20 years of dominance, year after year. So, O'Sullivan finally taunted directly: "(Robertson) you're not in that discussion [of being a great player], man. ”
What do you think of O'Sullivan's assessment of Robertson?
