Only his battles with depression and addiction stopped him dominating completely. Hendry's era was much easier to dominate. His main competition was Jimmy White.

The Sicilian Italian Stallion did it again.... The Rocket out performing his opponents.... Well done Ronnie you deserve It....Simply The Greatest....

[@mukyalex9246]

If you take any sport there has never been a man like this who has become even greater than the sport itself, his imperfections in the character make him simply more interesting. The talent and the hard work of this man is simply astonishing. Not the GOAT but rather the God of snooker. Congrats Ronnie.

[@rocknral]

He is certainly the Don Bradman of Snooker. Like the Don , Ronnie will be the yardstick by which all others will be measured.

[@santoshchavan5572]

I can't think of him to get retired...look at the way he played the tournament...he played whole tournament very cautiously....he wanted it's to be done...i think all tournaments for at least next 5 years are at his mercy...

[@mk2design]

That's a little far fetched, i would say . There are others who defined (dominated) their sports over long periods of time: Phil 'the power' Taylor (darts) - maybe even MvG (Michael van Gerven) Pele (soccer) - Lionel Messi (in modern times soccer) Juan Manuel Fangio (early days formula one) - Michael Schumacher (semi modern formula one) - Lewis Hamilton (hybrid era F1) Tom Brady (american football) Michael Jordan (basketball) ... to name a few, but you're right: RoS is the god of snooker. ;)

Their hug at the end is emotional man. 😭 M so so so happy tears of joy

[@nathanwilding7343]

I remember watching him win the UK Championship in 1993 at the age of 17. I thought this fella is going to be something special.

[@piripihiku7506]

"Bad for snooker, fraud, past-it" to name a few I've heard over the years, and even more this current tour...congrats on equaling Hendrys' 7, Ronnie now has all the 7's, masters, UK's and this equaling title

[@gerbenvanderbliek7448]

i ve read: hasnt got any important records and: never beat a top player in a wc final lol..they were checked but double checked now 😀😉

What a battle...Hard Luck Judd, but you came up against The GOAT...

[@badboyalan]

Without a doubt RONNIE is the GOD of snooker and I had no doubt that he would win... SO SO well done RONNIE I'm so proud of you and your fatherly skills to your wonderful little one's!!! God bless you ALL!!! Cannot wait until next year... X.

[@davekika9185]

The king Ronnie O'Sullivan

[@TheTheoryOfEvrythingH]

Less is how good he is in snooker, than the way he plays, approaches every shot, speed of moves ... That's what he will be remembered for outside the trophy, that's what will turn into a myth and legend, that's what it is and what will be the trajectory and desired goal for each new snooker player, all that is what it is and what will be characterized as the right way to play that game. And no matter how philosophically simple it will be characterized, it will be almost impossible to reach.

[@jiaren5130]

Congrats 👏🎉 to the GOAT

[@singtatsucgc3247]

The only safe unbroken record of Hendry: youngest 7-time World Champion. Well done Ronnie!

[@nawazshah5620]

You do realise when he gets his 8th he will be the youngest 8 time world champion...

[@user-bh5xj5yh3m]

Высший пилотаж.. Поздравляю с победой!! И с 7 титулом!!

[@BGFutureBG]

Considering the span when he got his first to now... that's insane in the modern day game

[@cp070476]

The one element that always made him the best for me was 'Fancy a game? You gotta play left handed though..' 18-0. Gifted genius.

[@hypernanox9002]

Living legend. Congrats

[@DmitriiPetrenko]

What a performance. I've never ever seen before. Meaning the competition as itself. Between these two strongest and the most talented snooker players. What a show. what a comeback. GOAT's iron nerves. Thank you, Ronnie. It was magnificent. Delightful.

[@godsstruggler8783]

First started watching snooker back in the 1970s and nobody can come close to Ronnie. Not Higgins, Davis, White or Hendry. He's simply out on his own as the greatest of all time.

[@graemeadamson7272]

As I've mentioned before, it's an absolute pleasure to have witnessed this total genius in my lifetime. As all the repeatedly say- there will NEVER be another player like the GOAT RO. Other players must look at his game and wonder what on earth they have to do to stop him . Judd Trump made this easily one of the best finals in recent years , as pointed out by Ronnie himself. Massive massive credit and love to Judd , he really had matured , and put in a shift and a half to try and overcome the great man 👊 I bet the other players on the circuit can't wait for Ronnie to retire, I , on the other hand , can . Cheers to Ronnie O'Sullivan 👏👏👏

Way they hugged nd talked❤️

Ronnie has 10 WCS in him judged on this performance and the quality of the oppositions, at least one more anyway. Outstanding performance.

To keep playing to this standard when he is well into his 40s is unbelievable, well done ronnie!

Congratulations Ronnie!!!Great performance throughout the tournament! Steven Hendry himself has admitted that Ronnie is a far more better player than he was, so I think that this whole dispute about who 's the GOAT is meaningless!

[@dotties123]

I was lucky to see Alex Higgins in his pomp win the World title and along with Jimmy White i thought i’d never see a player as dynamic on a snooker table again but win countless trophies to go with it over the last 30 years, the peoples champion and how lucky we are. 👏👌

[@parkerbohnn]

I used to watch Alex in practice. Throw balls down the table and pump them in on the fly. Most can do that on a pool table but Alex was the only one who could do it on a 6x12 foot snooker table.
