The Rocket's Meltdown
Known for his calm demeanor, O'Sullivan displayed raw frustration during his match against Robert Milkins. A series of missed shots, culminating in a simple miss on the red, led to a moment of madness. The seven-time world champion smashed his cue into the table, leaving the crowd stunned. Commentator Dave Hendon remarked, "The cue paid the price. He apologized to the referee and his opponent immediately, but it was clearly a moment of extreme pressure."
After losing 3-2 to Milkins, O'Sullivan appeared to give up on his final match and left the tournament early. His withdrawal has raised questions about his participation in the upcoming Masters, a tournament he won in 2024.
Social media was divided over the incident. While some fans expressed disappointment, others remained hopeful that the 49-year-old would bounce back.
Morris' Moment of Genius
In a stark contrast to O'Sullivan's outburst, Carl Morris performed a shot that will go down in pool history. A video of his "one-in-100,000" shot at the Ultimate Pool British Open has gone viral. Faced with an almost impossible situation, Morris executed a perfect spin shot, sending the ball into the pocket in a spectacular fashion. The commentator exclaimed, "I can’t believe it! That’s absolutely phenomenal.”
Even O'Sullivan himself was impressed, applauding Morris' skill. The recognition from the snooker legend was a testament to the incredible shot.
