    Ronnie O'Sullivan will not defend Champion of Champions title

    Ronnie O'Sullivan will not defend his Champion of Champions title in Coventry next month. The five-time world champion, 39, was included in the draw but said last week that he would decline the invitation to play without stating why. Writing on Twitter last week, O'Sullivan said: "I don't want fans buying tickets for Coventry thinking I'm playing. I said I hadn't entered weeks ago. Nothing's changed."

    Ronnie O'Sullivan will not defend UK Snooker Championship title

    Ronnie O'Sullivan will not be defending his UK Snooker Championship title in York in November. The deadline to enter the tournament, which begins on 24 November, was 28 October, but the 39-year-old five-time world champion has declined to enter. He has not played in a competitive match since losing 13-9 to Stuart Bingham in the quarter-finals of the World Championship in April. O'Sullivan's withdrawal will disappoint many fans of the popular competition, which is staged at the Barbican Centre. A spokesman from World Snooker, the sport's governing body, said they were still expecting "a great event" and that ticket sales were "extremely good".

    Bit of a blow to the start of the televised season. Hopefully he stills enters the World Championship tournament next year.

    Just watched him playing Barry Pinches and I've seen it all now.

    When on a break of about 50 odd he kept asking the ref was there a special prize for a 147 and playing to the crowd every shot.
    But while potting the 2nd last red he refused to track the black (not a hard shot) and just played on the pink instead.He then went on to make a 146.

    WTF was he doing????
    Geez I know Ronnie has his quirks but why deliberately not go for it??
