So sad:Ronnie O’Sullivan Continues to serve his WPBSA suspension by watching TV shows and avoiding …
|Ronnie O’Sullivan has revealed his Netflix preferences and how he spends his time between matches at the World Championship – and it doesn’t involve watching snooker.
O’Sullivan has confessed to immersing himself in shows unrelated to snooker
during downtime away from the World Championship – opting instead to indulge in a series about pizzas.
The snooker legend commenced his quest for an unprecedented eighth
Crucible title with a commanding 10-1 triumph over Jackson Page. His next
challenge comes in the form of a second-round encounter against Welsh qualifier Ryan Day, scheduled to begin on Sunday.
However, the 48-year-old hasn’t been fixated on snooker during breaks between matches. Instead, he has been
engrossed in Netflix programs, including the highly acclaimed culinary series
Chef’s Table. O’Sullivan cites a desire to avoid the multitude of opinions, often
centered around him, that circulate during the World Championship, as part of his rationale.
“I haven’t really been watching any of the snooker; I’ve hardly had it on,”
O’Sullivan revealed to Eurosport. “I’ve just been tuning into Netflix, particularly
the Blue Zone and Chef’s Table, which features episodes about pizzas. It’s an incredible show.”
“I haven’t been keeping up with the snooker
much. I just check the scores and see what’s happening. I try to avoid
getting too involved with snooker; there’s a lot of opinions and a lot of
coverage. I’d prefer to steer clear.”
While O’Sullivan may not be up to speed with the tournament’s progress, he has
been outspoken about the Crucible’s future. The venue’s hosting deal is set to expire in 2027, and O’Sullivan has
criticized the Sheffield venue, suggesting the tournament could potentially relocate to Saudi Arabia or China.
“I’m not a fan of the Crucible,” he expressed to The Sun. “I feel it’s not easily accessible. I believe it’s definitely a smart move to relocate it from Sheffield.
“Maintaining a tournament there is feasible. Why not? But
perhaps not the World Championship spanning over 17
days. It’s a huge event and requires ample space to accommodate it.
“I think Saudi Arabia could be an excellent choice. They have the resources
and capability to host it superbly. If considering China, Shanghai would be an
ideal destination. Alternatively, other major cities like Shenzhen or Guangzhou could also be suitable.”
