Dejected-looking Ronnie O’Sullivan takes 10-7 lead into final day after Kyren Wilson fightback

Dejected-looking Ronnie O’Sullivan dredged out a three-frame advantage after a testing opening day of the World Championship final against Kyren Wilson at the Crucible.

Both players seemed spent from their respective epic semi-final wins over Mark Selby and Anthony McGill and having led 8-2 at one stage, the five-time champion was fortunate to emerge from the session with a 10-7 overnight lead.
