Ronnie O’Sullivan continued his pursuit of a record-breaking eighth World Snooker Championship title with a decisive 13-7 victory over Ryan Day at The Crucible. The seven-time world champion maintained control throughout the match, building on a 5-3 first-session lead and capitalizing on Day’s missed chances. O’Sullivan’s dominance was evident in his impressive frame-winning breaks, including an 82 clearance and an 89 break. Day responded with valiant efforts of 77 and 75, but O’Sullivan’s ruthlessness ultimately prevailed. The 48-year-old will now face the winner of the match between Jack Lisowski and Stuart Bingham in the last eight as he aims to become the fourth player to achieve the historic treble of The Masters, UK Championship, and World Championship in the same season.
