Snooker Ronnie O'Sullivan 147 World Championship 28.04.08

Video Description:
Ronnie O'Sullivan finished his 888.com World Snooker Championship match against Mark Williams in glorious style by making a record ninth 147 maximum break.
The Crucible crowd erupted as O'Sullivan potted the final ball of his magical maximum, the seventh made at the Crucible and O'Sullivan's third - he is the only player to make more than one at Sheffield.
The Rocket has over-taken Stephen Hendry as snooker's maximum man, having surpassed the Scot's record of eight. Chigwell's 32-year-old O'Sullivan has now made three this season, following 147s in the Northern Ireland Trophy and one in the deciding frame of his Maplin UK Championship semi-final against Mark Selby.
This one came in the last frame of a 13-7 defeat of Williams and put him through to the quarter-finals to face Liang Wenbo or Joe Swail. The match looked in the balance going into the concluding session at 9-7, but world No 5 O'Sullivan produced an incredible display of break-building to win the four frames he needed within 44 minutes.
Runs of 71, 60 and 100 put him 12-7 ahead, then he split the reds early in the next frame, clearly setting about a maximum from the early stages. He was never out of position, playing a superb shot on the 13th black to dislodge one awkward red from the pink, then dished up easily.
Stephen Maguire and Neil Robertson stopped their match on the adjacent table in the closing stages of the break, then joined Williams in congratulating O'Sullivan, who will collect a £157,000 jackpot providing the 147 is not equalled.
It's the 62nd 147 in snooker history and sixth of the season - three for O'Sullivan plus one each for Jamie Burnett, Tom Ford and Stephen Maguire.
O'Sullivan was in majestic form throughout the match against Welshman Williams, also a two-times world champion, making four centuries and seven more breaks over 50.
The result means that Williams is out of the top 16 after 12 years among the elite, though he looks to be safely in the top 32 for next season.

Neither Stephen ... ( 3 weeks ago by zarakhast)
Neither Stephen Hendry nor Steve Davis (in their pomp) would have been a match for O'Sullivan at his best. He's the best player that ever played the game - capable of shots that neither Hendry nor Davis could even think of. He's also probably (sadly) the last of a breed. Higgins has been the only one who has ever been able to make him sweat sometimes. A sporting virtuoso if there ever was one.

what are you talking about? hendrys played him and beaten him in hes 'pomp'. osullivan maybe never played hendry in hes pomp''. anyway osullivan is definetly the most talented player ever. At hes best hes the best ever- but hendry has those titles- which make him the greatest winner..one of the things you need rite at the top level of sport is to be mentally very good...o sullivan unfortunately hasnt been a lot of the time
But Hendry and ... ( 3 weeks ago by zarakhast)
But Hendry and Davis were simply incapable - even at their best - of O'Sullivan's passages of brilliance. They were machines with a limit to what they could produce. O'Sullivan has a magic that players such as Hendry and Davis aren't capable of. His nearest challenger (in his era) has been Higgins. Higgins is the only one who can go toe to toe with an on-song O'Sullivan and still have an equal chance of winning. But over their careers O'Sullivan has made the bigger impact.

yes but hendry has all those titles which make him arguaby the best player ever. its like in football george best may have been the greatest talent ever in the history of the game- but your rarely gonna have people mention him ahead of pele or maradona because they have world cups. im not saying its the rite thing just the way it kinda is.
Respect to both ... ( 3 weeks ago by zarakhast)
Respect to both Hendry and Davis - they were great but they were both desperately BORING. There was always something too 'textbook' and mechanical about them : I can't think of a single performance by either of them that I'd like to watch again. Ronnie, on the other hand, treats us to the fastest ever 147, ambidextrous snooker, and some of the most imaginative and daring shots you'll ever see.
I agree with you - ... ( 3 weeks ago by zarakhast)
I agree with you - and I think O'Sullivan would agree with you as well. He knows that he won't surpass Hendry's record of world title wins. It will always be debatable who was the best and on records alone it's got to be Hendry. But I believe that O'Sullivan at his best is the best there ever was. I agree with you though that Ronnie never had to play Hendry in his pomp : that would have been some game !
