O'Sullivan Admits to Recent World Championship Participation Doubts

Ronnie O'Sullivan has confessed that he was uncertain about participating in the World Snooker Championship, but his impressive run to the World Open final has changed his mind. Despite a challenging season, with limited appearances in the UK and struggles in competitions, O'Sullivan has shown glimpses of his exceptional skill, including a record-breaking 153 break against Ryan Day. The 50-year-old has been candid about his career, stating that he can only focus on one week at a time and has been working to find his form on the practice table. O'Sullivan's recent performance has given him renewed confidence, and he now feels that he might participate in the World Championship, aiming to surpass Stephen Hendry's record and claim his eighth Crucible title. However, he remains cautious, acknowledging that his game is not yet at its best and that he needs to take things one day at a time.
