No retirement for champion ‘Rocket’

Ronnie O’Sullivan assured snooker fans “I haven’t gone yet” after winning his fourth World Championship title at the Crucible last night.

The “Rocket” had threatened to follow Stephen Hendry into retirement ahead of the final against Ali Carter, which saw him complete an 18-11 win last night.

Carter joked immediately after his second final defeat “Maybe if he retires I might win it” — but O’Sullivan immediately dismissed such thoughts.
