DOMINIC DALE cannot see Ronnie O’Sullivan winning a record eighth Crucible crown – because he feels he lacks longevity for the Sheffield marathon event.
O’Sullivan, 49, has been champion of the world on seven occasions and is tied with Scotsman Stephen Hendry on the number of snooker Championships.
Ronnie O’Sullivan won a seventh world snooker title in 2022 to tie level with Stephen HendryAFP The Rocket kickstarted his season with an appearance at last month’s Shanghai MastersAlamyLast May, the sport’s GOAT reached the semi-finals of the World Championship but was crushed with a session to spare by Chinese superstar Zhao Xintong.
Earlier this year in Leicester, the Rocket smashed up his favourite cue in a moment of rage and as he searched for a replacement, he limited his playing time and withdrew from several tournaments.
O’Sullivan, who turns 50 in December, returns to action on Tuesday in the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters in Jeddah.
But former pro Dale – who retired from the professional ranks at the end of the last season – cannot see a fairytale finish to his career, especially as he enters his sixth decade on the planet.

“The other consideration you have to throw into the melting pot I suppose – would he find a cue that he was able to play as well with?
“Because, of course, he broke his previous cue back in January. He had had that since 2012.”
