Ronnie O’Sullivan Seeking World Title in His 50s

Ronnie O’Sullivan, a seven-time snooker world champion, has publicly declared his desire to win another world title, despite being in his 50s. Following a dominant 10-1 victory over Jackson Page, O’Sullivan expressed confidence in his potential to defy aging and win the prestigious title again.

At 48, O’Sullivan is already the oldest snooker world champion, having won the title in 2022 at the age of 46. Now, he hopes to make history by winning the title at age 50 or older, a feat that has never been accomplished before.

O’Sullivan claimed, “I know the ability exists; it’s just a matter of finding the right formula.” I’m still at 48 and 49, and I’m realizing what’s possible now. Who knows if I can win a World Championship at age 50? I’m probably the only player capable of doing so, but let’s try it.

Following his convincing victory over Jackson Page, O’Sullivan will face Ryan Day as his next assignment. With his victory margin matching one of the largest in this year’s championship, O’Sullivan’s dominance is apparent, leading talk that this tournament could be a farewell tour for the snooker legend.

Reflecting on his historic career, O’Sullivan asserted his status as one of the best snooker players of all time, emphasizing his unprecedented success and longevity in the sport.

As O’Sullivan advances in the event, snooker fans are keen to see if he can complete his ambitious quest for another global title, solidifying his status as a true sporting great.
