Masters Snooker: Ronnie O’Sullivan shows off cue ball control
The Masters sees the top 16 players in world snooker battle it out at Alexandra Palace in the first Triple Crown event of the calendar year.
The winner of the Masters, which is in its 45th year, will take home £200,000 in prize money - a third of the total prize pot.
Reigning champion Mark Allen was knocked out by Luca Brecel in the opening round on Sunday, while seven-time Masters winner Ronnie O’Sullivan sailed past Stuart Bingham.
O'Sullivan told the BBC: "It is hard to analyse how you played but I tried to be as professional and disciplined and draw on all my experience. It was getting tense and I was relieved to get over the line.
"He looked like he was getting stronger at the end. I made a few mistakes, let him in and the game can punish you sometimes. You have to put your foot to the metal and go as hard as you can for as long as you can.
"I have been in 12 finals and only won seven, I should have won a few more, I have thrown a few away (from winning positions).
"I can play for another 10 years but I get tired now. I have had insomnia for seven years and it catches you out sometimes, I felt really tired today. I was not sure how I would do but the adrenaline kicked in and you hit a slump again but it kicks in again."
Live television coverage of the Masters will be shown on the BBC and Eurosport.
Snooker fans will also be able to stream the action via the iPlayer app, BBC website and through the Eurosport player.
