Snooker legend Ronnie O'Sullivan left fans speechless this week with a jaw-dropping 153 break – the highest in professional history – during his dominant 5-0 victory over Ryan Day at the WST World Open in east China's Jiangxi Province. 🌟
The Rocket's record-shattering moment came in Friday's opening frame (March 20), eclipsing Scotland's Jamie Burnett's 148 break from 2004. At 50 years young, O'Sullivan proved yet again why he's considered the 🐐 of the green baize.
"Still pinching myself," the seven-time world champion told reporters after securing his semifinal spot. "When I'm old and wrinkly, I hope people remember this as that 'cool thing' from back in the day." 😎
With this victory, O'Sullivan continues his 2026 campaign strong, showing no signs of slowing down in a sport where most players peak decades earlier. The World Open semifinals kick off this weekend, and you can bet every young snooker fan will be watching 👀🎥
