All too easy as Rocket cruises to third world crown

RONNIE O’SULLIVAN claimed he had not been at his best as he wrapped up his third 888.com World Championship last night.

O’Sullivan, having been outstanding throughout the tournament, secured his third title by completing an 18-8 success over Ali Carter at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre.

O’Sullivan said: “I’m just happy to have won, it was tough. When you get ahead, you are always thinking at the back of your mind, if you lose it from here, it is going to be a killer.
