More from Seven-time world champion Ronnie O’Sullivan speaking on BBC Two: “I don’t lie when I say I am not playing well. A lot of people think I am but I am not a liar. I saw what I feel.
I know the ability is there, it’s just finding the right formula sometimes. I have already broken the rules for snooker, I am still going at 48, 49 and I am seeing what is possible now. What is possible in this game and how long can you keep going for?
“Can I win a World Championship at 50, who knows? I am probably the only player able to do that but let’s see, let’s have an experiment.
“To do what I have done this season, I have done over a whole career. I have been doing it for 30 years. I have had the greatest career of any snooker player.
“How many people can say they have been the best or most successful in their job ever. I have to really give myself a pat on the back because I don’t, I am hard on myself. Nobody has achieved what I have achieved on to table statistically.
“What is possible? I don’t know. Statistically probably this would be [my best season] but playing wise, definitely not.”
