Ronnie O’Sullivan slams opponent after reaching World Championship semi-finals
Ronnie O’Sullivan labelled Si Juahui’s performance “poor” after beating the Chinese star to reach the semi-final of the World Snooker Championship. The seven-time world champion held off a fightback from his opponent in the evening session to win 13-9 and set up a clash with Zhao Xintong.
O’Sullivan led 10-6 after the afternoon session, only for Si to take three of the next four frames to reduce the deficit to 11-9. However, the 22-year-old then missed chances in each of the final two frames and ‘The Rocket’ capitalised to keep his hopes of an unprecedented eighth world title alive. Afterwards, though, he focused on Si’s mistakes and was also critical of his own form.
