It was a delight to watch the greatest player ever to hold a cue get back to his best
Nineteen years and three Covid-delayed months after he won his first World Snooker title, Ronnie O'Sullivan picked up his sixth at the Sheffield Crucible last night. Equalling the number of wins of his boyhood hero Steve Davis and his former coach Ray Reardon, he now sits just one behind Stephen Hendry in the all-time world title league table. And the way he played in the final afternoon of the tournament, building up an unassailable lead over the debutant Kyren Wilson, there is every chance he will soon be overtaking Hendry's haul.
