O’Sullivan, 48, found himself in a tricky position down one end of the table and tried to hit the pack of reds off a couple of cushions. However, he missed on four occasions, and each time it was called a foul and a miss by the referee. This meant that the ball was put back in its original spot, and the world No.1 had to go again.

“Ronnie O’Sullivan was never going to replicate his performance from last night but I didn’t expect him to come down this far!”

Fans were left baffled by O’Sullivan’s out of sorts performance, as he frequently potted the white. One fan commented, “Ronnie O’Sullivan played some of the best snooker of his career yesterday, so close to perfection. Today he’s trying to play some of the worst he’s ever played, it’s a strange game.”
