- Ronnie O’Sullivan has not participated in a tournament since its January merger
- The Englishman broke his signal and said he was “burned”, needing a break
- Now he gave an overview of his mentality on the world championship
Ronnie O’Sullivan admits that he still does not know if he will play the world snooker championship this month – and he will give himself to the eve of the draw.
The record world champion seven times has not participated in a tournament since he took his anger of anger at the Leicester Champions League in January.
Explaining his prolonged absence for the first time, O’Sullivan said he had to take a break because he was “ burned ”, revealing that he had become “frightened” to take his signal because of the way he played.
The 49 -year -old man has since returned to the training table and works with coach Gary Filtness to see if he can improve his form in time to return to the crucible.
O’Sullivan received a provisional sowing of four for the world championship which begins on April 19, the draw took place two days before.
But the rocket told Mail Sport: “If you asked me three days ago, I would have said:” 100% I play “, because I found something, and I said to myself:” Wow, I hit the good from the ball “.
Ronnie O’Sullivan says that it is “very unlikely” that he will play in the world snooker championship
However, the seven times world champion says that his attitude towards this has changed regularly
The 49 -year -old conceded that he was at the “end of his attachment” after having broken his signal
“Confidence came back and it lasted three days, and I said to myself:” Oh yeah, I imagine it “. But the last two days are going downhill. It seems that it is a step forward, a stone’s throw back.
“While I sit here, it is very unlikely that I will play in the world championship. But I reserved training sessions with a very, very good player who is in the top 16 on April 14, 15 and 16. So I’m going to give myself to this latest training session to see where my game is.
“If I think,” You know what, everything is fine “, I will probably play. But if it’s as if it was today, it just won’t be pretty for me.
“Obviously, I broke my signal and I always try to find a signal with which I am comfortable, which I have not yet been able to do.
“I would love to be back to play. I would really do it, really. Removing tournaments is not good for me. This is not what I want to do. I want to be in competition.
“The last three or four weeks, I have practiced a lot. But at the start of the season, I was afraid of approaching the training table and being afraid to get my case out of my case.
“I arrived at the end of my attachment with my game. Now I focus only on repair because if I do not repeat it, there is no tournaments.
