Ronnie O’Sullivan reveals he was 'on phone to Samaritans' at snooker world championships

Ronnie O’Sullivan beat Ali Carter to win the final of the 2024 Masters, lifting the iconic crystal trophy for a record eighth time.

Both players produced some high-quality, high-pace snooker in the final. Carter took the first frame before O’Sullivan responded with a rapid century and another quick frame to lead 2-1. Carter, though, went into the mini-break with the scores level after producing a magical 125.

O’Sullivan’s attacking approach proved both a blessing and a curse, as he let in Carter who made no mistake with another fabulous century to lead 3-2. They shared the next two frames, before the final frame of the afternoon went the way of Carter, to take a 5-3 lead into the evening in this race to 10.

O’Sullivan came out firing to close the gap in the evening, and they reach the mid-session interval level at 6-6. But from there the seven-time world champion accelerated away, clinching a 10-7 victory.
