O’Sullivan and Brecel Set for Snooker Shoot Out Final Showdown

O’Sullivan was knocked out of the second round of the World Championship by John Higgins

Ronnie O’Sullivan secured his place in the Snooker 900 Global Championship final with a decisive 6-3 victory over Kyren Wilson, winning three consecutive frames to seal the match.

O’Sullivan, the seven-time world champion and recent victor at the World Seniors Snooker Championship, established an early lead in Reading, highlighted by a break of 121 in the opening frame to go up 2-0.

Wilson, the 2024 world champion, responded by leveling the score and subsequently taking a 4-3 lead before O’Sullivan mounted a comeback to secure the win.

Luca Brecel will now face O’Sullivan in the final, following the Belgian’s 6-3 triumph over Joe Perry in the other semi-final.

Snooker 900 events are characterized by a 15-minute time limit per frame (900 seconds), a 20-second shot clock, and the implementation of a ball-in-hand rule following any foul committed.
