Best player to ever pick up a snooker cue. A total genius and master controller of the cue ball. My favorite player of all times. When he retires snooker will never be the same.
Even though I think it's Ronnie playing a mind trick on himself, when he says he doesn't see himself as a snooker player anymore and that he only plays to enjoy the game, I do believe it's working really well for him. Sometimes you've got to create these kinds of stories for yourself to relieve yourself from the pressure of being called the GOAT, the biggest talent ever and what else we call him. When Ronnie's at ease, he's not only the best, the best that ever was, but he plays the game like it's a totally different game than what the rest of the world elite plays. His long pots, his potting average, his cue ball (and cue) control, his ability to see what noone else sees, his break-building, his use of the pockets, the way he can pot in the middle pockets from every angle, and his safe game - all of it was just on par for this World Championship and make no mistakes here. Ronnie was under so much pressure to even the score with Hendry on the number of WC-titles. You really could see it when it was over. It was quite emotional to follow - even to see Judd be so "happy" (of course he would rather have won himself) with Ronnie winning his 7th. Ronnie was the far better player in all of his matches and I don't concur that they just played poorly. Ronnie played so well, that they had to take too many chances and that made them look poor in comparison. That's what a master does. He plays so well, that the rest look poor in comparison. So cool, calm and collected that I've never seen him before. Ronnie IS the greatest, the greatest in a field of so many very great players.
i totally agree mate. When Ronnie's feeling good its almost impossible for anyone to stop him. It feels like he has the ability to literally make his thoughts reality on the snooker table
My biggest impression of Ronnie's performance at the world championship this year was his cue ball control after he potted the balls from distance. When he went for the pot he always tried to put the white in a zone where he'll be able to continue the break. Fantastic tournament! Well played Ronnie!
u r ri8..but if u have seen the full matches then you would know that he would risk it after he has atleast 3-4 games lead.....obviously thats the winning play because he cant risk it when the game is going tight
When Ronny won this year he went from being the only player to ever win 6 of each of the Triple Crown tournaments(World, UK & Masters) to the only player to have won 7 of each of the Triple Crown tournaments. And let's be clear here, when Davis and Hendry were winning nobody else won more than 1 World title where Ronny has broke the records alongside 2 4 times and a 3 times World champ, absolutely and undoubtedly the greatest player to ever hold a queue.
I like that Ronnie always shows his oppenent respectand downplays his himself. He doesn't let it go to his head and stays humble. I think that is one of the reasons why he is in my mind, the best ever and still improving.
I don't expect to ever see a better player than Ronnie. I appreciate greatness in any sport. His level of greatness in his sport is rarely matched by anyone regardless of the sport. He's snooker Gretzky
Beautiful, top class, wonderful, really good, excellent, delightful, brilliant, stunning, precise, magnificent, gorgeous, superb, great, fabulous, perfect, terrific, tremendous, perfection, outrageous... these are words used to describe some of the shots in this video and who could argue.
It’s quite an achievement to hold on for what is it, 17 days ?. Seems a bit over the top to me...but I think at one time the world champion final was a best of 99 frames, or something ridiculous like that.
@@smr_0172 I have watched it a few times myself and I have to stick with my opinion...having the black ball tight on the rail, Ronnie played the shot in a way to be sure that the cue ball would rest tight on the cushion and send the black ball on to the top cushion, that's what I believe Ronnie played. Only him can tell us for sure if he went for the pot.
He went from being the only player to win 6 each of all 3 Triple Crown tournaments to the only player to win 7 of each of all 3. If(when) he wins an 8th World crown he will hold every single record in Snooker outright. What makes this more astonishing is that when Davis and Hendry won their titles nobody else won more than 1 World title where Ronny has faced up against 2 4 time and a 3 times World champs, literally 3 of the best players of all time in their own right.
@@darthwiizius well said...your more tuned into snooker than me...i just love to watch the PvP players..in every sport..best of the best..legends are talked about forever till the end of us..i dont watch any snooker without ronnie...not one game...only ronnie...same as i watch phil taylor in the seniors over all the new players..michael jordan...cantona...its not the best ability...its their presence...well said 👋
Gotta say floyd mayweather...mike tyson..tyson fury beast goes to peoples back yards...beats em up easily enough...them people... Tiger woods...i watch no sport unless there is one superstar...just one..not 2...Federer???i watch no tennis unless he plays...thats life...the prince nazeem hamed..chris eubank Sr...steve collins...goes on...joe Louis...ali...dempsey..johnson... robinson...ray leanord....go on forever wont it?
I saw John Higgins play at the Bentleigh club ( Melbourne Australia,) John was just a kid maybe 17 years old He came over to play with a group that included Willie Thorn!!! Etc I believe , although memory is unreliable! John went on to win that title ,may have been Australian open He is going strong and winning titles You're a legend too Mr Higgins 👍😎
Ronnie nuked his opponents to win the world championship this year. He outdid his opponents in every single aspect of the game almost all the time. This will be remembered in history as one of the best of his many dominant performances to win a title. He only lost a single session (against Trump) in the entire championship and he drew one session against John Higgins,other than that he came out on top in every single session he played in this tournament. It just shows what a force he can be when his natural talent is paired with determination and hard work. I think now it's fair to say he's contributed to snooker more than any other player and is a true GOAT.
Maybe Netflix should send a camera crew too follow him every year. He seemed really focus, and in control this year. Very similar too how he was in 2020, with no audience in the theater.
This closes the books on whose the best there's not even an argument anymore the titles the records the 100's the 147's Rocket Man is on his own cloud .
Yeah Ronnie has essentially been the GOAT for years already but that variance of World Titles vs Hendry's use to get brought every time. It was literally the only stat out of all of them that Ronnie wasn't the greatest in yet that was enough for some to deny him GOAT status. Anyway, good to put that to bed finally and we can move on.
In this year's World champs Ronny went from being the only player to win 6 each of the triple crown tournaments(World, UK & Masters) to the only player to have won 7 each of the triple crown tournaments. An 8th World title and Ronny has every record outright and, frankly, I can see no reason he can't also become the only player to have won 8 of each of the triple crowns. Put into context as well that when Davis and Hendry set their records nobody else won more than 1 World title while Ronny has set his while facing a 3 times and 2 4 times World champions, 3 of the greatest players in their own right and Ronny's records become even further elevated.
@@darthwiizius And what's mad when you think about it.... There were years and years where Ronnie seemed genuinely disinterested in snooker. Just imagine if snooker received 100% of his focus.
@@craigmonty Yeah it was at times frustrating to watch him but I think in reality he just had too much thrown on his shoulders from early on. I remember his first year because a friend of mine played him in the World Championship qualifiers and after the match got a lift in Ron & Ron's limo while Ron Snr roundly abused him for his lack of ability(I am of course cleaning it up a bit), this was just before he was sentenced for murder to put it into context. Then of course a few years later his mum got sent down for tax evasion. Really I'm just pleased Ronnie has finally found a little peace in his life which has helped him somewhat fulfil his potential, no doubt though if he'd found it from the beginning he'd now be on 10 or 12 of each Triple Crown because from his first title at the UK when he utterly bodied Hendry with Hendry in the best form of his life that this 17 year old was already way above Hendry's level. In fact I can only think of 2 players capable of beating a Ronnie on his game and that is John Higgins and Judd Trump, they're the only 2 I've ever seen play close to Ronnie's level.
we missed out on possibly THE best final, if only Williams had edged out Trump in the other semi. both players were playing the best snooker, with Williams banging in sixteen tons and Ronnies overall game it would have been great to watch.
The Hendry fanboys are going to hate this. 7 vs 6 world titles was their only argument they had left when they would deny that Ronnie is the GOAT. What are they going to do now? :P
You can not top raw natural ability and natural talent……I wonder if when Ronnie picked up a cue and hit the ball for the first time i wonder if he understood the game like neo saw the world in the matrix,..and manipulate the balls how he saw fit …..👌❤️
He won the World amateur champ at 15 and made a 147 in the final frame. Everyone knew he was the GOAT when he beat Hendry in the UK final at 17 years old. He destroyed Hendry in the final, Ronny's first as a pro, despite Hendry being on the best form ever seen by anybody in the semi-final against John Parrot. The match started and 20 minutes later they went off at the interval with Ronny 4-0 up and Hendry having played 4 shots in 4 frames, 2 breaks and 2 perfectly good safeties from Ronny's breaks.
You know, I really think that whenever Ronnie actually wins a tournament he doesn't achieve that in measured steps or anything he just casually wakes up one morning and decides to win that tournament and that's all it takes for him 🤷
How many times did Ronnie’s coach win the World Championship. Ray reardon I don’t know how to spell his last name lol does anyone know because I don’t ever remember him winning . But my dad said it so it stuck with me and my dad has passed now so I can not ask him lol he backed jimmy white every time he would always say he missed a black of the spot lol and every time someone said come on jimmy in the finals he was not even playing lol I laugh every time when some one in the audience shouted that . When was the last time someone done that. Because it’s on my bucket list lol
There's no substitute for raw talent. When you combine the natural ability with a work ethic and desire to win(often Ronny's biggest challenger has been himself) then you have an almost unbeatable proposition in Ronny.

Higgins said and i agree.ronnie was lethal in the tournament,he was so relaxed and on his game it was like watching him practicing.he had no fear.
i totally agree mate. When Ronnie's feeling good its almost impossible for anyone to stop him. It feels like he has the ability to literally make his thoughts reality on the snooker table
@@floreaciprian9742 Yeah, even the best ever - Trump, Davis, and Hendry - say he's in a world of his own.
The best. Ever.
You took many words out of my mouth. Well said indeed!
Ronnie's aging like a fine wine. Incredible.

Agreed. Also love those remarkable cuts to the middle shot with pace straight into the center of the pocket!
Leaving the white in a position, to carry on the break after a pot, is literally the whole point of the game. 👍 😂
@@jimmyuseeYeah, all the top pros have good positional play haha
The greatest player ever and never will be matched, the greatest

I like that Ronnie always shows his oppenent respectand downplays his himself. He doesn't let it go to his head and stays humble. I think that is one of the reasons why he is in my mind, the best ever and still improving.
When fully focussed,Ronnie is just that bit better than everyone else. A deserved champion,no doubt.
@@jscott3347 he's not fat above Stephen Lee

Given enough time, there will always be improvement.

Yep kept his focus throughout the whole event

13:33 the best shot of the year
Are you being serious? These days I never know....its more like the fluke of the year
@@danielgoncalves6438 its not a fluke its a cocked hat double. 3 cushions into the middle pocket keeping the white safe
@@smr_0172 sure... It's a shot for nothing as they call it but his intention was to play it safe. The black ball going in the pocket was a bonus
@@danielgoncalves6438 entirely possible. but having watched him throughout this tournament hitting ridiculous shots i wouldnt think twice about it
@@smr_0172 I have watched it a few times myself and I have to stick with my opinion...having the black ball tight on the rail, Ronnie played the shot in a way to be sure that the cue ball would rest tight on the cushion and send the black ball on to the top cushion, that's what I believe Ronnie played.

The cue ball control by Ronnie O'Sullivan is second to none.the greatest player ever
Fabulous victory run against fabulous competition for Ronnie O'Sullivan.
13:33
If I made this shot I would tell everyone about it for years. For O'Sullivan it's just a casual frame winning shot. Incredible!
The scores were so that if he missed that crazy shot, Trump would have had a chance.
ROS is some level of Genius mixed with Madman.
gives vibes of tequilas's " ronnie o'sullivan absolute essence of ... " great video !
Ронни не только лучший. Ещё какой актёр! Браво!
Great job on the editing on this video. All the cuts were seamless.
Yes, and no daft music.
When I think of snooker I always think Ronnie O'Sullivan.enjoy him while we can.
Ah, the wonderful Gilbert - O'Sullivan... I have all his records.
I love Ronnie the best player in the world ❤️✨
Just a word...Outstanding.
I reckon Ronnie can do 10 world titles...super fit he is. .and that talent is far from diminishing in the slightest..

When he's really on his top form he is unstoppable makes the game look incredibly easy

There will never be another one like him
that black ball drop..

Tbh, he never looked for a moment this year like he was ever going to lose. Normally i get a bit jittery, but this year, it just seemed inevitable.
Maybe Netflix should send a camera crew too follow him every year. He seemed really focus, and in control this year. Very similar too how he was in 2020, with no audience in the theater.

I'm going to suggest to you that the title should use the word preternatural not supernatural. you're welcome.
When Ronnie has had enough I’m sure he would have broken every record or stat in the snooker game .he,ll be competing till he’s 90 lol
There's no substitute for raw talent. When you combine the natural ability with a work ethic and desire to win(often Ronny's biggest challenger has been himself) then you have an almost unbeatable proposition in Ronny.
It will be a sad day when he retires.
Ronnie becomes so damn predictable when he plays his A game coz everyone knows what the outcome will be.
