Tour Championship prize money as Williams denies O’Sullivan payday | Other | Sport

ITV pundit Stephen Hendry cannot see anyone beating O’Sullivan, with several big names struggling ahead of the World Snooker Championship. « That’s a good question,” Hendry replied when asked if the Rocket can be stopped in Manchester. “It’s a very good question. If I’m honest I’m struggling with an answer because he’s brushing aside everyone he’s playing really.

« What he does, even in the first round, for the first three or four frames against Ali Carter he missed the odd shot, the odd little mistake, sort of feeling out his opponent. As in boxing, a few little jabs in there and then he goes for the killer punch and just destroys them. He’s got everything, hasn’t he? »
