It’s the final day of the Riyadh Season World Masters of Snooker, and the excitement is reaching its peak! Today’s schedule features two highly anticipated semi-final matches: Mark Allen vs. Luca Brecel at 3pm GMT and Judd Trump vs. Ronnie O’Sullivan at 4pm GMT. The winners from these matches will then face off in the grand final, which kicks off at 7pm.
Ronnie O’Sullivan, also known as “The Rocket,” has been making waves in this tournament. Before his last-eight tie, O’Sullivan shared his thoughts on the Gold Ball, a special bonus that awards £400,000 if correctly potted after a 147 break. O’Sullivan cheekily mentioned that while he has had a few 167s in his car, achieving a 167 on the table is quite a challenge. However, he acknowledged the great prize and incentive that comes with it and expressed his willingness to give it a go if the opportunity arises.
In his quarter-final clash with John Higgins, O’Sullivan didn’t manage to achieve a maximum break or go for the Gold Ball glory, but he still impressed the crowd with his remarkable performance. Even in the wee hours of the morning, at 3am local time, O’Sullivan dominated the match, securing a convincing 4-0 whitewash victory. He showcased his exceptional skills with rapid-fire breaks of 135, 129, 102, and 82.
As the final day unfolds, fans eagerly anticipate the showdown between Judd Trump and Ronnie O’Sullivan in the semi-finals. Both players are renowned for their exceptional talent and competitive spirit, guaranteeing a thrilling match that snooker enthusiasts won’t want to miss.
