Seven-time world champion on BBC Two
Ronnie can say all he likes about not caring about records, but when he gets on that table, does it look he doesn’t care? I don’t think so.
He’s a winner. He’s a sportsman. There’s no doubt in my mind that he knows how many he’s got, and how many he needs to get.

The big three events in snooker - the UK Championship, Masters and World Championship - are known as the Triple Crown and O'Sullivan has won 17 times in these tournaments.

Ronnie has settled down really well. It took him a while to totally get hold of the cue ball in this break, but he's got it now.
You'd be very surprised if that wasn't the first frame of the evening wrapped up.
