What time does Ronnie O’Sullivan play today?
Ronnie O’Sullivan begins his chase for a landmark World Snooker Championship win as he takes on Jackson Page at the Crucible Theatre.
O’Sullivan, winner of the UK Championship and the Masters earlier in the season, is seeking to complete a clean sweep of snooker’s Triple Crown events for the first time in his career.
He arrives in Sheffield as the favourite for a title he has already won seven times, with an eighth win taking him clear of Stephen Hendry as the sole record-holder in the modern era.
Welshman Page has lost both of his previous meetings with O’Sullivan, including a defeat at the English Open in October.
