Snooker: O'Sullivan sticks with TSN after u-turn

Ronnie O'Sullivan will be playing on the sport's breakaway circuit next season.

O'Sullivan initially appeared to be representing the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association.

But O'Sullivan has done a u-turn and said he will continue to support TSN and their 10 tournament tour due to start in September.

To end further speculation, TSN legal expert Gerry Sinclair insisted: "We're happy to say Ronnie has signed an agreement to play exclusively on the TSN tour next season.

"Other than that we are not prepared to make any comment."

TSN's fresh statement appears to clear up the situation following a day of claim and counter-claim to The Rocket from each rival circuit.
