Ronnie O’Sullivan has divided snooker fans with a surreal referee altercation during his World Championship final against Judd Trump. The ‘Rocket’ is vying to join Stephen Hendry at the top of the all-time list with seven titles, but had something of a skirmish with referee Olivier Marteel on Sunday.
With O’Sullivan 2-1 up, he was keen to ensure that the official was aware of the position of the white ball due to being in a snooker. He thought he could catch the edge but missed, and TV replays were needed to replace it. After replacing the ball, Marteel claims he could still see the red, to which O’Sullivan gestured to hand him the cue before saying: “You try.”
