O’Sullivan scrapes past unlucky Doherty in quarter-final thriller

RONNIE O’SULLIVAN won a final-frame decider to send Ken Doherty spinning out of the SAGA Insurance Masters yesterday.

The ‘Rocket’ sank a pressure 115 break in a final-frame decider to secure a 6-5 quarter-final victory at the Wembley Arena.

But Dubliner Doherty, runner-up in 1999 and 2000, missed two good chances to book his place in this year’s semi-finals.
