Ronnie O’Sullivan was seeking to provide ‘entertainment’ by refusing a 147

"I don't see what's wrong in making it a little bit light hearted because it can be a serious game."

Ronnie O'Sullivan might not have threatened another maximum but he fired three centuries in four frames as he swept into the last 32 of the Welsh Open on Tuesday.

O'Sullivan, who turned down his chance of a 147 in his previous round win over Barry Pinches, notched breaks of 110, 90, 112 and 102 to see off China's Tian Pengfei 4-0.
