Ronnie O’Sullivan’s strange antics at the Snooker Championship League raise eyebrows as he withdraws after a frustrating performance
Leicester: So, Ronnie O’Sullivan really lost it at the Snooker Championship League. He was hitting his cue on the table and even kicked it! It was wild to see.
After a few frustrating moments, he decided to pull out of the tournament. He lost to Robert Milkins, marking his fourth defeat in five matches. Not a great streak for the snooker legend.
During one match, he was leading 51-0 but missed an easy shot on the blue ball. That let Milkins take the frame, and O’Sullivan’s reaction was just bizarre. He spread his legs, stuck out his tongue, and placed the cue between his legs. Seriously, what was that about?
He missed another simple shot on the pink and slammed his cue on the table. He did apologize to both his opponent and the referee, but the frustration was clear. Later, he hit the table again after potting the cue ball. You could feel the tension!
When he played against Jak Jones, he was heard muttering “useless” after losing control of the game. He even kicked the table and slouched in his chair. It was a tough day for him.
Commentators were all over it, saying, “It’s all happening here in Leicester.” They noted how furious he was with himself. It was like he was battling more than just his opponents.
In the end, O’Sullivan decided to withdraw from the competition. Rumor has it he even tossed his cue in the bin in the players’ lounge! His manager had to fish it out later. It’s been a rough patch for him lately, especially as we head into 2024.
