Ronnie O’Sullivan 'not bothered by records' after wrapping up rapid win

The victory by the five-time world champion comfortably eclipsed the previous record of 149 minutes set by Shaun Murphy when he whitewashed Luo Honghao last year.

Ronnie O’Sullivan shrugged off his record-breaking exploits after becoming the first player to win a Crucible match in less than two hours.

O’Sullivan won the two frames required to convert an 8-1 overnight advantage into a 10-1 win over Thepchaiya Un-Nooh in a total match time of 108 minutes.
