Imagine practicing for weeks, flying out to Romania, paying for a hotel, playing one shot then get destroyed by Ronnie O'Sullivan before his tea even cooled to optimum drinking temperature.
This was one frame. Max breaks don't win games. Consistency does. And let's be honest women don't really exist in snooker. She's the best example, she dominated women snooker world and it's been years for her constantly on top. Great accomplishment, obviously. But then she can't have a single word against top tier men snooker players with the best accomplishments of not losing so hard. I don't think Ronnie even took that match seriously, tbh.
Fair play to Referee for being so quick on his feet! Obviously knows O’Sullivan gets irritated when he has to wait between shots and it helped him play his natural free flowing game! Joy to watch.
I've been watching his videos, and I realized how you can win against Sullivan, it's pretty easy actually 1 - Start Playing 2 - Don't miss 3 - Don't let him play
@@TheLambLive He ripped them off because that shot was left handed and deep, and they got in his way. The shot on the yellow was also left handed, but they must not have gotten in his way that much.
At his best Ronnie is unbeatable. He's the greatest player I've ever seen. When I was around 15, I used to enter amateur tournaments, Ronnie was there too. He was a year younger than me, but even back then he drew a crowd. People wanted to watch him play. He was always going to be World Champion, it was never in doubt.
I can do constant breaks between 45 and 56 is my highest and I don't know how people can play in front of crows , our club isn't massive but few people would watch an instantly it put me off. Ronnie and Steven Hendry are my hero's, when Hendre was basically a baby in snooker but beating everyone my nan would wake me up to come watch I loved it cos was always early am games. But there was one guy who I thought this guy is going to be the best, from my town, Paul hunter, I don't remember who he played might have been Hendry or osullivan but he came back like 9 frames to win the championship , I was like how is he doing this and so focused and in the interview it was something like "my head had gone, I knew I'd lost but we had an intermission and I just thought well might as well bang the mrs backstage" 😂 when he went back to the table he just became a super human, gone too soon that lad 😔
ShortBusRuss it’s about perspective, it used to be said being good at snooker was the sign of a misspent youth. Hopefully I won’t be thanking Saint Peter for allowing me to live at the same time as Ron. That said, what a fuckin sportsman he is, astonishing.
@@scienceevolves4417 what he meant was that the pink wasn't touched by any of the balls. Which is not true, the pink is off her spot by a little. Still impressive.
Ronnie O’Sullivan is beyond a Snooker genius, he is a Snooker artist. He is capable of playing the game in a way no-one ever has before or ever will again. Enjoy him while he is still around. I certainly have never ever seen a better or more pleasing on the eye Player to watch. He is simply the best of best that has ever been or ever will be. The G.O.A.T
I agree completely. Ronnie is always the one I look forward to watching. I like Judd Trump and Mark Selby too because they're great players, but nobody is more satisfying to watch than Ronnie.
I’ve watched all the players from the seventies onwards. Some incredible players and times. All would likely agree he’s just a fluke player, in that he’s a complete one off. Left handed, right handed, he could use his legs and hold the cue with his toes and still be awesome. I can’t imagine a better performance than what he shows so he’ll not be bettered.
When people look back at the record books then yes, Hendry will top the WC for sometime yet. However having watching Ronnie since the mid nineties, I don't see anyone in the current game who can go on to replicate all Ronnie has achieved over such a long period
He's not done yet .. still a got an odds on chance to at least equal Hendry's record, but even if he fails to match it I still think all the triple crowns, 100' breaks, 147's and ranking tournament wins will leave him as the water mark to beat in years to come. As already mentioned in the comments, its his longevity at the top of the game thats mind boggling!! Imagine how much more he could have achieved if he had managed to tame his demons (well documented and openly talked about by Ronnie) earlier in his career!
I'm almost 56 years old. I've been playing all the variations of American billiards for nearly 45 years. I only encountered, really encountered, snooker, about a year ago. I've always thought straight pool was the pinnacle of billiards. Until I found snooker. And Ronnie O'Sullivan. Just simply incredible. He always inspires me. How billiards CAN be played.
@Putin Did It Technically true. But for expediency's sake, I refer to any game that has balls on a table as a "billiard" game. I simply choose not to spend my life defining the differences between true billiards, the variations of pool, snooker, and carom when conversations arise. But like I said, you are correct. And it appears we agree, snooker is incredible. Sadly, the nearest snooker table is 130 miles/200 kms away.
@Putin Did It Ya know......…......that's not a horrible idea! In fact, you just might get the prize for "Idea of the Day". You can claim your prize in central MN, USA. LOL. Thanks for the idea.
Yes, i always only played Pool for fun but already liked watching Snooker, but in TV you get no real relation how fucking big this table is, and how narrow these pockets. Now i prefer Snooker before Pool, even if my personal highest break so far was a 23 with red-pink-red-black-red-black, but i was unbelievably happy after having achieved to pot 6 in a row...;)
He's got a private custom-made table in a club in Loughton where the pockets are smaller so on tables like this, it must be like playing 8-ball pool 😂😂
@@ronniepickering9191 Ya but in that time-line in Davis career Hendry came along towards the end, same can be said for Hendry Ronnie came along towards the end and snooker evolved. Ronnie is still kicking ass at 43 years old same age when Hendry retired and no-one special has really come along. If Trump can play like he did in the last World Championship year after year I might consider him but he's not consistent enough.
@@jimmy2shoes75 I would have rated hendry very slightly higher back in the day, he was relentless. As he got older though, you could see his form deteriorate. Ronnie is still top class now
The way he just switches over to the left hand and so casually slots away the yellow was sublime, so much control on the cue ball he makes it seem so easy, all amateurs/club players know how hard this is to do.
Bosses in RPGs are supposed to be fairly easy to beat if you are leveled high enough. This was like one of the battles in RPGs where the player is scripted to lose, and the entire party is wiped out after they get one attack.
@@garbygarb31 He has spent thousands of hours on the practice table using right and left but the level of natural ability with Ronnie is unlike anyone else. Scoring his first century break aged 10 and winning a club tournament as a 9 year old point to that.
Imagine being graced by a Ronnie Maximum though, it must be sort of an honour. Even if it is slightly soul destroying to know all you need do is miss a single red once.
Federer, Woods, Schumacher, Merckx to name a few more. O’Sullivan is certainly the Snooker equivalent of them all. Just a shame he’s sometimes lacked the mental strength of most of them or he’d have been even more a master of his craft than the lot of them
i remember years ago i went to see ken doherty vs jimmy white in a exhibition in Ireland in about '99. ken doherty did a 146 in one frame then jimmy went in and did a 147 the next. it was absolutely brilliant. we were all jumping around the place celebrating, jimmy just smiled to the crowd. it only dawned on me the next day that these guys must do them all the time. its amazing to see it in front of your eyes though
Exhibitions for sure. No real pressure. Lad I used to play with (non pro) had a 147 the day Hendry visited the club in the 80s-90s. When Steven turned up, he played him and could hardly pot.
I was watching snooker long before Ronnie was playing and will watch and play snooker long after he has retired. People that only watch snooker because of Ronnie will be no loss to the game.
I remember Cliff Thorburn's 147 at the Crucible and that DID take forever, possibly because Cliff Thorburn was slow anyway and also he probably knew he was doing something very special. Since then 147 breaks have been happening far more often in televised tournaments, illustrating the very high standards in modern professional snooker.
@@geoffpoole483 Thorburn really was glacial slow, lol. Some of the reasons for more maximum breaks, besides talent, is the equipment changes and table innovations, as well.
ZappoTan He is like an evolution of Alex Higgins. That man could not play position to save his life but the fun was watching him get out of the tangles he got himself in. Ronnie has both the maverick and the strategy. An intriguing fellow and snooker would be dead without him.
@ZappoTan well it's a lot harder to become a world champion now because there are a lot more top notch players than it was when Hendry was on top so it cant really be compared. Ronnie has almost every record there is and is most definately a better player than Hendry was. Argue as much as you want....
Joe Davis, Alex Higgins, Steve davis, and Stephen Hendry were all snooker GREATS and took the crown from one another, but Ronnie O'Sullivan is the only snooker GENIUS who has ever lived and will ALWAYS be the king of snooker. The crown will always be his. There will never be another like him. It'll be a dark day for snooker and snooker fans when he retires. :(
Imagine being able to do this and even using the left hand in at least one of the shots. This man is not just the best snooker player ever. He is an artist at the table and deserve all the respect and credit for his achievements.
@@philmuggeson1849 How about welcomming him not testing his mental strength . When he says hes cherry picking not doing the tour you say ``great , happy to have you play at your best `` . When he says a venue is tatty and unkept you consider that the biggest star has a point rather than telling him he has no right . You dont question his lifestyle . You dont ask him every friggin time he progresses if hes to retire . You say ``ronnie , its a pleasure to have you around , if you need anything just ask mate `` .
@Spencer Rees hes welcome around mine anytime :-) It was in reference to phil muggsens critique we should kiss his arse . Ronnie is unique and every interview he has to sit and justify why hes still around . You dont get that with say robinson or mark williams . Its got to test him , no wonder he goes through stages of thinking whats the point and says he will retire . Knowing he can be fragile and hes ramped back what he now plays we should look after what we have because when hes gone hes gone . There is no replacement waiting in the wings . This is the twilight of an epic career of the greatest snooker player thats been . Long may it last .
@@godzillas6301 Nobody said anything about "kiss his arse"; Muggeson can speak for himself, but I think you're missing the point that the original comment was an example of how 'we' is possibly the most misused word in the English language. Unless you're the one actually interviewing O'Sullivan then it's not 'we' but 'them' that should be 'your' concern.
I'm pleased for Reanne! EVERY player would love to be able to look back on their career and say they played a match against The GOAT of snooker and had the privilege of watching him make a Maximum break up close!🙏❤️

The only disappointing thing is that far too many people can't really appreciate the absolute human genius that's on display here -- indeed, it's a shame that more people (especially in the US, for example) don't even know who Ronnie is. He is without doubt among the top few sports geniuses who have ever lived.
@@stevezakuani5289 I credit Jonathan Higgins (no, not John - he was only 11 at the time,) for introducing me to snooker. Higgins from Magnum P.I., that is. The last episode in season 6 has Higgins videotaping a snooker match which he can finally watch since he got a satellite dish.

Imagine being graced by a Ronnie Maximum though, it must be sort of an honour. Even if it is slightly soul destroying to know all you need do is miss a single red once.
She’s not a nice person, she played Mark Allen and refused to shake his hand
@@CaptainValenti Maybe because Allen treated her like shit ? What do you know.
@@bartdereu9267 I know the same amount as you but you’re the one making the baseless accusations
@@CaptainValentithe two of them at the time had also had a bitter divorce. Can you blame them?
Jordan, Pele, Ali,Ronnie is up there with all the greats of sport. Legend
Federer, Woods, Schumacher, Merckx to name a few more. O’Sullivan is certainly the Snooker equivalent of them all. Just a shame he’s sometimes lacked the mental strength of most of them or he’d have been even more a master of his craft than the lot of them
Ali? Please...
Raymond Ceulemans, George Digweed.
@@markjagger2412 lol Federer🤣
Bradman, Gretzky, O'Leary
Who else but Ronnie! On his day, nobody else can get close.
i remember years ago i went to see ken doherty vs jimmy white in a exhibition in Ireland in about '99. ken doherty did a 146 in one frame then jimmy went in and did a 147 the next. it was absolutely brilliant. we were all jumping around the place celebrating, jimmy just smiled to the crowd. it only dawned on me the next day that these guys must do them all the time. its amazing to see it in front of your eyes though
Exhibitions for sure. No real pressure. Lad I used to play with (non pro) had a 147 the day Hendry visited the club in the 80s-90s. When Steven turned up, he played him and could hardly pot.
@@nuntana2
Out of curiosity, when in the 146 frame did Ken Doherty hit the pink? Did he keep up the hopes of a maximum for a long time?
I already feel sad that Ronnie will retire in few years, I watched and loved snooker only cause of him ♥️
Dont worry, I think he retired twice already
I hope you're young to not include Alex Higgins & Jimmy White for your enjoyment of snooker. Alex, Jimmy & Ronnie, the peoples champions.
I was watching snooker long before Ronnie was playing and will watch and play snooker long after he has retired. People that only watch snooker because of Ronnie will be no loss to the game.
How the hell do you know when hes retiring
@@gman4699 calm down big man
The refs been watching Ronnie vids the way he was moving, fair play to him.
Will Singh. If that ref didn’t know who Ronnie was, he shouldn’t be anywhere near a snooker table.
@@Englandsbestlover He did not talk about knowing who Ronnie is, but watching vids about him, so what's your point?
RRJOfficial. What’s your point?
@@Englandsbestlover Did not I say it already? Learn to read.
RRJOfficial. I can , dickhead. I was asking you. Learn to read
What a legend, to see him perform like this is absolutely fantastic.
I remember the first televised 147, and it seemed to take forever.
I remember Cliff Thorburn's 147 at the Crucible and that DID take forever, possibly because Cliff Thorburn was slow anyway and also he probably knew he was doing something very special. Since then 147 breaks have been happening far more often in televised tournaments, illustrating the very high standards in modern professional snooker.
@@geoffpoole483 Thorburn really was glacial slow, lol. Some of the reasons for more maximum breaks, besides talent, is the equipment changes and table innovations, as well.
That fistbump at the end was so wholesome :3
What a legend. The world will not see another talent of his magnitude in this life time.!
I was at school when Ronnie made his WR 147. He's still doing it and I'm now 40.
Me too. Amazing talent.
ZappoTan He is like an evolution of Alex Higgins. That man could not play position to save his life but the fun was watching him get out of the tangles he got himself in. Ronnie has both the maverick and the strategy. An intriguing fellow and snooker would be dead without him.
@ZappoTan hardly far fewer when he's got 5 world titles the most masters ever and countless other titles ✌
@ZappoTan well it's a lot harder to become a world champion now because there are a lot more top notch players than it was when Hendry was on top so it cant really be compared. Ronnie has almost every record there is and is most definately a better player than Hendry was. Argue as much as you want....
Nick Coupe u clearly repeated several grades a several times !
Joe Davis, Alex Higgins, Steve davis, and Stephen Hendry were all snooker GREATS and took the crown from one another, but Ronnie O'Sullivan is the only snooker GENIUS who has ever lived and will ALWAYS be the king of snooker. The crown will always be his.
There will never be another like him. It'll be a dark day for snooker and snooker fans when he retires. :(
Luv Ronnie but dont forget Jimmy and Alex... paved the way for genius snooker
"There can be only one"
Bullshit. Alex was more gifted than Ronnie ever was.
Cliff Thorburn.
Smart Arse Alex was gifted but your deluded if you think he was more of a genius than Ronnie.
What a gift Ronnie is to every snooker fan... around the world. Thanks for posting this... it finally reached me a year later and I'm a big fan.
A Living Legend
4:44 possibly one of the best shots I have ever seen
Yeah, you've never seen me play
Sheer genius
@@christophervan6966 Thanks mate
To do so much with the white and still end up on the black is remarkable.
Reanne Evans will always be able to say she was good enough to play the greatest player who has lived! ❤️
And how did it go love.....?
Imagine being able to do this and even using the left hand in at least one of the shots. This man is not just the best snooker player ever. He is an artist at the table and deserve all the respect and credit for his achievements.
At least two shots (pink)
I was born in Belfast, RIP Higgins.
I lived most of my life in Canada, and got to witness Thorburn.
But nothing, compares to this man.
When Ronnie is in the mood, pound for pound across all sports, hes the best there is
That might actually be true. Especially now that Messi is past his prime.
I totally agree, Tiger Woods in his prime may edge him but fair play to Ronnie, up there without a shadow of doubt, amazing player
Funny, I commented something similar somewhere else. Certainly up there with the Messis etc of the world
@@YogSoth This aged well. :)
ROS is brilliant for sure, but making comparisons with the greats in other sports is subjective to the point of meaningless. So why do it?
He left a digestive in his tea

He left the bag in, it still wasn't ready when he returned
Can you really not spell intact
@@karlbarker2912 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@karlbarker2912 your mistake is still in tact...
purplinko 👆🏾
The way he effortlessly switches cueing hand on the final yellow and pink. Phenomenal 👍👏
He is forgiving person like charity and organisation which makes him even better person truly a legend
Abdul Hakim, are you sure about that? O'Sullivan used to have big troubles with his finances, especially during divorcing with his wife.
Such an amazing player, brilliant, even his opponents are delighted at his play, rock on rocket
Ronnie is the GOAT, incredible legendary snooker champion.
From Australia
No way I could be upset losing in this way. Just an absolute show of perfection.
He's a genius.
And she's a very good sport.
She is actually a very good snooker player.
@@eddykelly4082 truely excellent one. Currently the GOAT of womens Snooker, but still. Not Ronnie
"There can be only one."
1:21 when you realize you’re not gonna play anymore
I had no idea men could compete against women in snooker.
Nigga stole my bike.
At least there's no physical difference in strength playing snooker.
@@lewisharold its more because the circuit is made up mostly of men i think. which is why you see this sort of thing in exhibition only

oh what you want women to play against men in football now?
I’m here watching this for the first time after witnessing his 7th world championship win. A real treat
awesome talent legend and we should look after him.
In what way? Tuck him in at night? Wipe his arse?
@@philmuggeson1849 Don't b a moron
@@philmuggeson1849
How about welcomming him not testing his mental strength . When he says hes cherry picking not doing the tour you say ``great , happy to have you play at your best `` . When he says a venue is tatty and unkept you consider that the biggest star has a point rather than telling him he has no right . You dont question his lifestyle . You dont ask him every friggin time he progresses if hes to retire . You say ``ronnie , its a pleasure to have you around , if you need anything just ask mate `` .
@Spencer Rees hes welcome around mine anytime :-)
It was in reference to phil muggsens critique we should kiss his arse . Ronnie is unique and every interview he has to sit and justify why hes still around . You dont get that with say robinson or mark williams . Its got to test him , no wonder he goes through stages of thinking whats the point and says he will retire . Knowing he can be fragile and hes ramped back what he now plays we should look after what we have because when hes gone hes gone . There is no replacement waiting in the wings . This is the twilight of an epic career of the greatest snooker player thats been . Long may it last .
@@godzillas6301 Nobody said anything about "kiss his arse"; Muggeson can speak for himself, but I think you're missing the point that the original comment was an example of how 'we' is possibly the most misused word in the English language. Unless you're the one actually interviewing O'Sullivan then it's not 'we' but 'them' that should be 'your' concern.
The guy is just hilarious, a complete master.
RONNIE G.O.A.T !!!!! GOD BLESS YOU EVER & FOREVER !!! I LOVE YOU KING OF SNOOKER !!!!
King Stephen Hendry and King Ronnie O' Sullivan
Ronnie O Sullivan is the most naturally gifted plyr ever. Absolute genius.
The most loved sporting personality in the world!!!!
Federer is
You've got to be kidding...
@@peteT269 You have all the right to disagree with me, Sir!
@@joshheinink Legend of the Game! No doubt!
@@J.Ali1888 he's up there in popularity in sport
The one and only, a phenomenon, nobody even close, yes, Ronnie is a legend.....😎
I think Ronnie is one of the top 10 sportsman of last 50 years, top 3 in my book
Ronnie is the most naturally talented sportsman in the world.
25 years on, into his professional career, Ronnie makes a 147 in under 7 minutes. Amazing!
Charlie he was playing an amateur though don’t forget she missed shots drunk people in the club pot lol
8:01 this is the most English thing Ive seen in decades. What a legend
I guess he will be the sports personality with least haters.
Besides Ronaldinho and Efren Reyes. Everybody love them :D
Pool/Billiards/Snooker or any game on a table seems to have very respectful and well respected professionals.
I'm pleased for Reanne! EVERY player would love to be able to look back on their career and say they played a match against The GOAT of snooker and had the privilege of watching him make a Maximum break up close!🙏❤️
It must be horrorfiying for every opponent when ronnie is on such a run in the first frame.
Jerbil Konai Jerbil Konai more like an honor to sit across from and behold brother. reanne respectfully enjoyed it like everyone else. love hate...or fear lol
ronnie makes players fear themselves, not him
Not as 'horrorfiying' as your spelling. LMAO. I assume you meant 'horrifying;. :LOL
@@kooper1683 sometimes we all make errors on typing, specially when you are not a native speaker.
It's not about snooker, he is one of most terrific and entertaining sportsperson of this century.
Thoroughly enjoyed it, lovely fist bump from Reanne Evans!
No commentator.. just snooker asmr.. O'Sullivan with a 147.. lovely
Genius. The most naturally gifted snooker player that has ever lived.
Good~ now I have 100% confidence to make it to the pro!!! I’m as good as Reanne in this video...
Simply amazing. He does it again and again. It is hard to imagine anyone ever being better than him.
It could be a very very very long time until someone comes along as good....let alone better...WOW...your imagination is running wild are you smokin some of the good stuff bro?
Better maybe but not moore interesting. It is one thing to win and be a machine or actually a human being.
The only disappointing thing is that far too many people can't really appreciate the absolute human genius that's on display here -- indeed, it's a shame that more people (especially in the US, for example) don't even know who Ronnie is. He is without doubt among the top few sports geniuses who have ever lived.
not only do we not know who Ronnie is, i'd say most of us don't know what snooker is, youtube brought me here
In many places incl. US, people mostly play pool and Efren Reyes is the living god.
@@stevezakuani5289 I credit Jonathan Higgins (no, not John - he was only 11 at the time,) for introducing me to snooker. Higgins from Magnum P.I., that is. The last episode in season 6 has Higgins videotaping a snooker match which he can finally watch since he got a satellite dish.
Snooker players come, snooker players go but only one Ronnie the rocket!!!
Me too but I got a really bad kick on the first red
He makes it look easy and the shots he is doing are insane! legend.
Genius total genius! The ref was running around trying to keep up 😂😂 one of the few things that gives me goose bumps other than music is watching Ronnie knock in a 147
0:26 "I've got a chance!"
0:28 "I just lost."
