Ronnie O’Sullivan swears at Ali Carter

O’Sullivan won his eighth Masters title on Sunday and after a 10-7 victory, he launched a ferocious assault on his finals opponent, Ali Carter.

At the press conference, the call sign “Rocket” went wild.

“You know what he is like as a person, everybody knows, he has problems. Why does he have a problem with me? I don’t give a damn.

The more he comments, the more I will punish him (not beat him in the chain). We haven’t spoken in 20 years.

Playing snooker against him is a nightmare, he is an unpleasant person. Put his fucking life in order. I said what I had to say, you have something to write. My ass is breaking,” he exploded Ronnie O’Sullivanreports Sky Sports.

The world leader in snooker ended the conference by showing the middle finger to his opponent in the scheme Ali Carter.
