NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Tom Ford reckons anyone who wants to get Ronnie O’Sullivan in the UK Championship draw is deluded, asking: ‘Do you want to earn money and a living or just have the chance to say you’ve played Ronnie?’
Ford produced a great performance to beat Noppon Saengkham 6-3 in the final round of qualifying for the UK Championship, meaning he will draw a top 16 player in Thursday’s draw.
Having made two centuries and three more half-centuries in the fine win over the Thai, Ford is clearly playing well and has not got a pick for who he wants to play in York, but he knows who he wants to avoid.
‘I’m not really bothered, I’m not fussed, but nobody wants Ronnie do they?’ Ford told Metro.co.uk.
