Speaking to the media after strolling up victory, Ronnie O'Sullivan admitted he was "stressed" by the pursuit of a sixth Masters title.

The 40-year-old said: "I've taken up smoking again, just because of this tournament. I've been getting lazy. I've been eating like a pig and haven't run for two weeks."

He added: "I've tried to reinvent myself. I've looked at a lot of the younger players coming through - Neil Robertson, Judd Trump, Ding Junhui - and they're just such great potters and great cueists and power players.

"I decided that if I was going to challenge these players, I'd have to change my game slightly. I think that's helped. The game does move on and you've got to move with it."

It was all a bit too easy for Ronnie O'Sullivan as he returned from an eight-month break to win The Masters in London.

O'Sullivan crushed the unfortunate Barry Hawkins 10-1 to clinch a sixth title - equalling Stephen Hendry's record haul.

The world number six - playing in his first televised tournament since losing to Stuart Bingham in the World Championship quarter-finals in April - also equalled the biggest-ever margin of victory in a Masters final, tying Steve Davis' 9-0 win over Mike Hallett in 1988.

"I am never normally surprised when I win tournaments but I am surprised I have won it after eight months out," said O'Sullivan.
