Ron top

Pang Junxu got the better of Ronnie O’Sullivan 6-4 in the last 32 of the International Championship.

On the win, the 24-year-old rising star said: “In the penultimate frame, I felt a bit tense and I didn’t get the position I wanted.

“I left myself with an almost impossible angle (on the black), so I wasn’t sure how to take on that final ball.

“When Ronnie came back to level after I was leading 4-2, I didn’t feel much pressure. His comeback wasn’t really related to my own performance.

“I managed to finish the last two frames with single visits. Overall, I felt much better, the rhythm was great, my luck was good and my long pots were solid.”

Calendar clash

Ronnie O’Sullivan is set to play in the Champion of Champions next week in Bolton and then it is the UK Championship – which he has won a record eight times – in York.

Yet he is not planning on flying straight back to the UK and will spend several more days out in Asia.

On whether he will play, O’Sullivan said: “I will see. I will spend a few days here in China. I’ve got a bit more stuff to do.

“I don’t know, I always make my mind up a day before a tournament whether I am going to play or not. I don’t even know what I’m doing.

“Listen, ever since I have been playing the game, I always make my mind up the day before the event. If you feel good, you want to play, you are ready – then you play.

“If you are not ready, you don’t play. So hopefully I am ready to play. That’s all.”
