NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Ronnie O’Sullivan says players are either capable of dealing with and thriving under pressure or they are not, and he does not think anyone on the snooker tour is good at it, other than himself.
The world champion swept aside Zhou Yuelong in the last 16 of the UK Championship on Wednesday afternoon, beating the Chinese star 6-0 with little challenge.
Zhou was a long, long way from his best as he appeared to crumble under the pressure of playing the Rocket, having described him as a ‘superhero’ before the match.
Shaun Murphy asked O’Sullivan if he had any advice for Zhou on dealing with the pressure and playing the sport’s biggest stars, but the world number one was not in advisory mood.
