O'Sullivan last won the world title in 2013

Ronnie O'Sullivan has received a formal warning from World Snooker after failing to fulfil media obligations at the World Championship in Sheffield.

He refused to speak to reporters after his first-round win over David Gilbert.

World Snooker says any further breaches by the five-time champion will result in a fine and possible further action by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association.

He faces fellow Englishman Barry Hawkins or China's Zhang Anda next.
