Ronnie O'Sullivan adds latest 147 break at English Open

Ronnie O’Sullivan made his 15th career 147 maximum breaks today – in the venue he branded a “hell-hole” earlier in the week. O’Sullivan has unleashed a volley of criticism at the K2 for smelling of urine, unhappy with facilities and the fact he comes into contact with swimmers and indoor bowlers. He said: “It was a bang-on break for me – and I fancied it after the first red. I thought I had to do something in the match to get myself excited, and I went for it. “From about 30-40 odd I was in bits and twitching all over the gaff, my back arm was like a fish flapping all over the place. “It all went quiet and then they stopped playing on the other tables to watch the match which is the worst thing that can happen. “You want them to make some noise or do something when it went too quiet the pressure was on even more. I didn’t even fancy potting the last black, to be honest, I was feeling it. “But the max just wins you one frame, but my game is far from really great. “I haven’t really played well since this tournament last year and that is why I started working with SightRight. I thought I had to try and do something. "Winning matches and tournaments, and playing well, are two different things. You don’t have to play well to win tournaments. I have won events playing quite poorly. “But for me to enjoy it and really get a buzz, I have to cue well and play well, then you can really get into it and take pleasure from it.”
