    What an absolute pleasure to watch. The humour he has, even when playing this frame in this "all aussie final", was so enjoyable—from the left-handed red pot, the gestures to the crowd, and the camaraderie he had with Robertson following his success, with Hendry commentating to boot. The only thing he ended up missing was a 16th career 147!

    I've been following snooker casually for a number of years now, and Ronnie has always been one of the most fluid, graceful players on the snooker scene. Combined with his revered & decorated professional history and his quirky personality, is it any wonder he’s widely regarded as the greater snooker player of all time? The sport will be significantly less enjoyable when he retires.

      I was for some reason recommended a snooker video on Youtube a couple years ago, and ended up watching a ton of videos of his play. That recommendation must have withered, because I never see them listed anymore. Time to get back to it. He's such a class act and his skill just seems effortless, it's a pleasure to watch.

    Was done in the final frame of his 10-4 victory earlier against Neil Robertson in the Players Championchip. With this he is number 2 on the ranking list again, only a good final position away from Mark Selby. For reference, the second most reached centuries are 775 by Stephen Hendry (also commentating here).

    In case anyone else was wondering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_break

    In case anyone else was wondering:

    In snooker, a century break (sometimes referred to as a ton) is a score of 100 points or more within one visit at the table without missing a shot and requires potting at least 25 consecutive balls. The ability to score century breaks is regarded as a mark of the highest skill in snooker, while the first career century has been described by Ronnie O'Sullivan as the "ultimate milestone for any snooker player".
