Fu sends O’Sullivan packing

WORLD number one Ronnie O’Sullivan has crashed out of the Embassy World Championship in the first round.

The Londoner, who amassed a maximum 147 in the seventh frame of his match with Marco Fu, lost 10-6 to the Hong Kong player.

O'Sullivan, who started the session 6-3 behind, fell further behind and at 9-4 was on the brink. He raised hopes of an unlikely revival by taking the next two frames but lost the 16th and bowed out.
