It will take O'Sullivan six more years to reach the milestone of 1,000 centuries, providing he compiles at least 34 a season.

The nearest player to O'Sullivan's record who is still on the tour is Scotland's John Higgins, a huge 208 centuries behind.

O'Sullivan's 147 break against Mick Price at the 1997 World Championship is the fastest maximum in history.
