Mission impossible for Ronnie O'Sullivan
MARK ALLEN says even defending and five-time world champion Ronnie O’Sullivan will not be able to stop Neil Robertson at the Crucible this year.
World No1 Robertson blew a couple of chances to make it 100 century breaks in a single season in a 13-7 win at the World Championship.
But misses on 94 and 92 in the last two frames were about the only blips in a majestic display which saw him describing his own performance as “flawless – pretty much perfect”.
But Allen said: “If Neil plays like that, no one can touch him – and I include Ronnie in that. That’s as good as I’ve seen.”
