Stephen Hendry accepts the key to Ronnie O’Sullivan’s tremendous accomplishment on the snooker table is straightforward, he doesn’t miss simple shots.
The Rocket has solidified his place as the game’s best ever player, sitting at the highest point of the world rankings at 48 years of age, with five titles to his name this season. O’Sullivan shares the record of seven Big showdown titles with Hendry, however will go to The Cauldron one month from now as the #1 to lift the prize once more and turned into the initial eight-time world winner.
The world number one has done a ton of things that no other player has overseen in snooker, however Hendry figures it is a finished dominance of the rudiments, that separates him. Praiseworthy signal ball control and the fixation to seldom miss basic pots has demonstrated a deadly mix and has taken the Rocket the entire way to GOAT status. ‘At the point when he’s at his best, as he was against [John] Higgins in Saudi Arabia and against Ding [Junhui] in the Players [Championship], he simply never misses,’ Hendry said on WST’s Snooker Club webcast.
‘Clearly his prompt ball control is superior to any other person’s. The thing with Ronnie, on the off chance that you watch Ronnie through a season, he incredibly, seldom misses anything simple. He generally pots the balls he should pot.
‘I say ordinarily in discourse, the simple shots think that you are out. A great deal of different players truly do miss simple balls from time to time and Ronnie won’t ever appear to. That is the mystery.
‘It’s unbelievable when you watch him, you see him miss a dark off the spot and you can barely handle it. He generally pots the balls he should pot and that is the mysterious behind it, why he’s reliably the best player.
‘At the point when you have his sign ball control it’s in every case simple shots he’s playing at any rate since he never leaves himself with a troublesome shot, barely.’
O’Sullivan is back in real life at the World Open in Yushan, China one week from now, taking on Michael White in the second round on Tuesday 19 Walk. Yet again he will be the man to beat, subsequent to winning the World Experts of Snooker in Riyadh last week and as of now guaranteeing the Shanghai Bosses, UK Title, Experts and World Amazing Prix titles this season.
