It was O'Sullivan's 39th ranking title and 21st Triple Crown title. Aged 46 years and 148 days, he became the oldest world champion in the sport's history, surpassing Ray Reardon, who was aged 45 years and 203 days when he won his last world title in 1978.

You forgot he was also the YOUNGEST player EVER to win a ranking tournament (and Triple Crown tournament) when he won his very FIRST tournament- which was the UK Championship!! Can you see a 17 yr old doing THAT anytime soon?!?! 😮 Yes, he started breaking Hendry’s records very young!! (Prior to that Steven held the record by approximately a year when he was 18 and won his 1st ranking tournament.) 😊👍😎🏆✅👌💪

I got hooked on snooker watching Alex Higgins playing Jimmy White in the 1982 World Semi Final. What a great match. I loved watching Jimmy and Alex, but Watching Ronnie has just been incredible. His longevity is amazing. Aswell as his 7 World's, 7 UKs, 7 Master's and 39 ranking titles, he's also won 3 Champion of Champions titles, which is like a Master's. All the best player's of the season who have won a tournament. He is a genius and it's been a privelage watching him since he beat Stephen Hendry in the UK Championship when he was just 17 years old. Such an iconic crucible moment at the end with Judd, then his 2 children coming on to congratulate and cuddle their father. Ronnie was in pieces. Reminiscent of Alex Higgins 1982. The UK is still a prestigious tournament to win, being amongst the triple crown titles. Well done Ronnie and thanks.🚀

Ronnie O'Sullivan, frio, eficiente e completo, como Edson Arantes do Nascimento, o Pelé. Ronnie detém os principais recordes do snooker! Pelé detém os principais recordes do futebol! Ronnie tem a qualidade da coragem para "tiros improváveis" e jogadas "inversoras de situação"! Pelé tinha a mesma coragem e ousadia do Sullivan para as jogadas que definiam os resultados! Pelé deu "caneta" como nenhum outro, tabelou com as pernas dos adversários, driblou com o corpo, fez inúmeros gols dando chapéu e chapeleta na área adversária! Ronnie acha tiros onde ninguém vê, improvisa sinuca onde ninguém calculou, surpreende a todos e encanta como todo rei de um esporte! Obrigado Ronnie, e obrigado Pelé! Um, sete vezes campeão do mundo (ápice), e MAIOR campeão de títulos classificatórios (39 por enquanto!)! O outro, três vezes campeão da Copa do Mundo (único), maior assistente (das Copas e de muitos outros campeonatos). O maior goleador de todos os tempos! Ronnie detém recordes como - 147 > 15 por enquanto, 147 mais rápido, Centenários, só 1169 e aumentando, e 3 tríplices coroas, também por enquanto! Pelé sem logísticas com jatinhos e helicópteros particulares, trens bala, jogando com bola de couro costurada, gramados pesados e outros que mais lembravam pastos, chuteiras duras e pesadas, fez o recorde de 1283 gols, e é o atleta do século XX (FIFA)! Jogou a carreira principal na própria pátria, quando todos os craques brasileiros jogavam no Brasil! Ronnie com idade de menino, conquistou o UK, "menina dos olhos verdes" do Reino Unido e do Mundo, e bateu INÚMEROS recordes! Jogando faz parecer fácil, é suave e elegante em suas tacadas, tira muito a vontade de assistir os outros jogadores. Pelé com idade de menino, tem o recorde até hoje do mais jovem a conquistar a Copa do Mundo! Detalhe: aplicando chapéu na área adversária e fazendo um lindo gol na final! Um gol ímpar! Ronnie enfrentou a fúria da inveja e do despeito dos "antis", e dos interesseiros mesquinhos, e mesmo atravessando uma prova terrível na vida particular, conquistou a admiração do mundo inteiro, porque amou a coisa certa a se fazer e lutou por uma "organização decente" no snooker mundial! Sempre dando apoio para jovens promissores, e destroçando opositores arrogantes, com pura arte! Conseguiu exemplificar que amando uma família, pode o homem dar a volta por cima, superar grandes dificuldades e vícios. Sempre reconhecido como o "Cabra" por gigantes do snooker, conseguiu viralizar o snooker pelo mundo inteiro, inclusive nos EUA - quem sonhava com isso? Quantas e quantas vezes enfrentou falta de profissionalismo em vários adversários e árbitros! Aos 46 anos, é ainda o artista exuberante de 2012 a 2014, encantado a todos nós, dando-nos imensa alegria e emoção! É muito fácil ser seu fã! Pelé, de berço pobre, deu auto estima e alegria gigante a toda uma nação explorada, amante do futebol, enfrentando "açougueiros" por toda parte, surgindo o cartão amarelo somente a partir de 1970! Não havia o mínimo respeito ao jogador artista! Sempre modesto, foi e é combatido por racistas de toda parte, até mesmo daqui! Porém sempre reconhecido como o maior do futebol de todos os tempos, principalmente pelos verdadeiros craques de todas as épocas! Não abandonava partidas e nem recorria às arbitragens, quando torcidas adversárias o insultavam com gritos racistas! Dois Reis incomparáveis! Duas lendas reconhecidas em plena atividade! Dois que só sabem jogar pra frente, sem firula e mesquinhez! Os "antis" vão passar as décadas procurando um craque ou outro e tentar substituir as coroas, mas não vão conseguir!

[@ollolol7879]

His worst enemy is himself

[@williamstdog9]

Ya but in the MIND of Judd, Luca, Selby, Allen, and a few others THEY are the greatest of all time… cause their best friends / yes-men / leeches TELL them that they are the greatest… and cause they’ve beaten Ronnie in matches before 🤦‍♂️

[@jakubc5618]

Some time ago Ronnie himself said that the best he’s ever played was in 2012. I think he was even better this year. Absolutely clinical throughout the whole tournament, 15 centuries, long potting above 60%, overall pot success 94%… It can hardly get better than that.

[@dreams_6819]

Totally agree, outstanding to maintain a 94% pot success throughout the tournament especially in the world championship

[@johnflynn7035]

[@pauls7803]

Yes I was amazed. I didn't think he could play like that any more based upon the previous couple of years

[@t19890204]

i think peak performance wise he was better in 2012, but he wasn't that consistent due to anxiety and stress. I think his recent years he is a lot more calm and collected and thus producing better overall results

[@rafatony2804]

When he beat Mark Selby from 16 - 14 behind in the 2020 semi-final on his way to winning a 6th World title. I thought Ronnie winning a 7th and an 8th title was a realistic proposition. My opinion has not changed. The GOAT.

[@kevanbrown7620]

That was amazing when he came from 14-16 behind to defeat Selby. The red he potted from the balk cushion in the penultimate frame was breathtaking. I remember that, Selby was looking up at his missus in the player's family box, thinking I've got this when it was 14-16 to Selby and Ronnie was playing like he didn't care, but he blasted those last 3 frames and shocked Selby who in his spiteful interview said Ronnie wasn't playing the way you should. Who's Selby to say how you should play, when he drags frames out for 80 minutes, it's so boring when Selby goes into boring mode. He's a good player, he should attack a bit more. So glad Ronnie won that Semi Final.

[@jasoncairns2865]

Ronnie in my opinion was the greatest ever at 6 times world champion holder. The main argument for most was the fact that Hendry had won the title 7 times. Now that Ronnie has matched the great Hendry. I believe there can be no doubt he is quite simply the best player there has ever been.

[@nickmorrow5216]

agreed

[@heavyrules6699]

Yes, Ronnie has been also the most consistent over 3 decades; no long periods of time where he didn't win a major tournament., and successful against players from different generations. His other stats are also impressive; most century breaks and the highest century rate at the WSC, highest match-win percentage... He even improved his century rate in the last 8 years or so, in 2015 or 2014 he was tied with Ding at almost 13 frames/century over their careers, in the following seasons his rate has been close to 10 frames/century every season, which allowed him to keep up with Trump's and Robertson's century stats (impressive at his age). In the 2020 WSC he showed that he had become stronger mentally when he came back against Selby, saving his own legacy.

[@cankumru682]

I have been a snooker fan since ages, when I first saw Ronnie playing snooker back in 1996, I immediately felt he was a special player. Indeed he had demons along the way taunting him during the earlier rounds of the WC, like losing in the first round a couple of years ago, and losing to Selby when he was 10-5 up in the final, he shouldn’t have lost that final, but in the end the patience, grit, mental focus, and sheer determination combined with the abundance of talent saw him through. I am so proud of his achievements, it literally made my cry. I have to say that I was afraid to watch the final live and only managed to watch the final from frame 1, 10 days (!) later, depriving myself of any snooker related news up until that point. I am also a Federer fan and couldn’t watch some finals live of the tennis GOAT either. I just can’t get enough of re watching videos of Ronnie claiming his 7th world title and 21st triple crown in total,, lucky and magnificent number 7,7,7. Truly amazing to achieve this milestone at the age of 46 and landing a world title in 3(!) different decades. Ronnie you are the true GOAT of snooker.

[@rafatony2804]

I thought when I read this, it was something I had written. I told Federer he could have been one of the greats June 24th 2003. He proved the point. (I have always regretted the remark) when I thought he would be a Safin and time would pass him by. When I read the second last line of your wonderful comment I realised it wasn’t me. I looked up and I saw your name. John Higgins has also won the world title in 3 different decades, his first in 1998, 2005, 2009 and 2011. However Ronnie won multiple titles in 3 different decades and is the only player to do so in the modern game. (Crucible’ Theatre Sheffield era 1977 - 2022) 1st decade 2004, 2008. 2nd decade 2012, 2013. Third decade 2020, 2022.

[@rafatony2804]

“He has taken the game to new levels. He really has. The century breaks; the cue ball control; the safety game; the temperament; the killer instinct; he has got it all. I said earlier in the week that it would be an honour to be at 7 (World Titles) with Ronnie and it is, because he plays the game the way it’s supposed to be played he is an artist!!!” Stephen Hendry’s thoughts as Ronnie O’ Sullivan equals his record of 7 World Snooker Championship Titles at the Crucible Theatre May 2nd 2022.

In 2008 from the last 8 on he played some of his best snooker ever at the Crusible and in2012 I think it was his best performance from start to finish.The 2013 Final was his greatest performance ever in any match at the Crusible because in the 18 frames he won he made 6 century breaks,6 80+ breaks 3 60+ breaks and 2 50 + breaks which is Still the most 50+ breaks made by any player in a world final. Hawkins 2 centures 2 90s 1 80 2 70s 1 60 break and 3 50+ and Still lost by 6 Frames just showed that O'Sullivan was vertually unbeatable with a 95.58% pot success in that final which is a stand out record itself.

[@ros8010]

I think 2013 was the best in terms of high level from start to finish, even better than 2012. His scoring was just so strong every round and the Hawkins final was the pinnacle.

[@MrGloryglorymanutd18]

@@ros8010 no mate he's stats tell a different story 2012 was his best performance from start to finish although the 2013 Final was his outstanding performance at the Crusible of every match he's ever played because Hawkins had 10 breaks over 60 and 2 50+ breaks and still lost by 6 because Ronnie O'Sullivan had 17 breaks over 50 with 12 breaks or 80 or more and 3 65 plus breaks with 2 50 plus breaks and I think he'd 6 Centures with well over 95% pot success making that the best match O'Sullivan played in his crusible Career.This year's semi final vs higgins he got 17 breaks over 50 and in the final he'd 16 breaks over 50.Is it any wonder these guys can't get going because the pressure has to be pretty big when your playing against that because Judd himself did 15 breaks over 50 in 19 final and that's the next best.Sure Ronnie did 15 against Hendry in the 08 semi final.Goes to show the guys clearly the best there's been and if someone comes along that better than O'Sullivan at his best imagine how he's going to have to play.I hope i see it but at 29 years old i may gone before then lol.God bless

We all recognise his natural talent, but I also think he owes so much of his tournament success to Ray Reardon. ROS was a different player after working with the 6x World champion. No less entertaining, but more mature and less petulant. Ronnie had only won the WC once in his first 12yrs as a professional, before winning it 7x since seeking out Reardon’s wise counsel. ROS can often be a bit cocky and arrogant towards other players, but whenever he’s with or talks about Ray Reardon, you can see just how much respect he has for the guy.

[@zaidhyder8745]

Higgins was careless. He thought he could just defeat Ronnie like he was doing in recent times. Can be seen in his shots. The frustration says it all

[@J_8867]

Crucible is approaching, will be make it an 8th!? I hope so. Let’s come back and see.

[@rohangeorge712]

meanwhile some stephen hendry fans: ok but still, he is tied with hendry at 7 world championship titles, only if ronnie wins his 8th can u call him better.

Есть всего 2 англичанина которых я уважаю. Ронни О'Салливан ( реальный) и мистер Шерлок Холмс (литературный).

Imagine betting with this guy 💀

[@andryzalnazir2356]

Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry then Ronnie O'Sulivan...will there be a better snooker player after him?

[@jeremylink7701]

why cut it short right at the end. allow some celebrations

[@alvinma9690]

6:08 what is he doing omg😅🤣

[@rohangeorge712]

if ronnie had hit the blue or pink at 42:43 he coulda got a century, but ik he was going for the brown so he could cue for the red, it was good cueing but the angle on the red was tough, he was close tho. honestly woulda been nice if he hit the blue or pink or got the red in to end that frame with a century and move on too the finals but it doesnt matter thats just me

He can win another one

[@stevemoisan]

Can any of you folks answer a question for me? When a player has already scored enough points to win a frame, why do they go for centuries? Do they get paid a bonus for them, or is it just a cool stat? I can see going for a 147, but just playing for something barely over 100 seems weird. Like here, when Ronnie beat Higgins in the Semi's, it came across (to me) as a little rude to keep playing the deciding frame after he scored enough to win. Mind you, I'm just a dumb American, but I'd love to find out what I'm missing here.
