O'Sullivan expects others to follow Hendry out of snooker

Ronnie O’Sullivan tonight claimed Stephen Hendry could be the first in a line of players to quit snooker as he complained about “relentless” demands on players.

Any lingering doubts that O’Sullivan might not have the form or the temperament to land a fourth Betfred.com World Championship title were emphatically dispelled as he beat Neil Robertson 13-10 in the Crucible quarter-finals.
