Londin, Jan 12 (VOICE)World No.1 Ronnie O’Sullivan reached the semifinals at the Snooker Masters after defeating Barry Hawkins 6-3.O’Sullivan, 48, trailed behind Hawkins 3-2, but took the following four frames in a row to seize a last four berth at the prestigious invitation event for the first time since 2019, reports .
O’Sullivan was far from his best, but Hawkins squandered too many chances.
“At the end I said ‘sorry’ to Barry because it was so bad,” O’Sullivan was quoted by the World Snooker Tour website. “If I had played better then I’m sure he would have too and it would have been a good game. But it often seems that when I play badly, the other guy plays even worse.”
The seven-time champion O’Sullivan will face Shawn Murphy next as the world No. 6 saw off Jack Lisowski 6-3.
