End of an Era for Snooker Legend
Ronnie O'Sullivan, the iconic English snooker player, will lose his world No. 1 ranking after a stunning quarterfinal defeat at the Snooker World Championship. The 48-year-old held the top spot since April 2022 but fell 13-10 to Stuart Bingham in a tense match. 🎱💔
Mark Allen Makes History
Northern Ireland's Mark Allen will now claim the No. 1 position for the first time in his career. The shakeup comes after O'Sullivan’s unexpected exit, which he blamed partly on referees, stating some “have it in for me.”
Drama On and Off the Table
The match took a surreal turn during the 12th frame when O'Sullivan clashed with referee Desislava Bozhilova. Meanwhile, Bingham admitted he “had a little cry” post-victory, calling it one of his toughest emotional battles. 😮💨🏆
