Known for the ferocity with which he speaks about his opponents, Ronnie O’Sullivan once again excelled in his hallucinatory characterization of his opponent John Astley.

Ronnie O’Sullivan described John Astley: ‘He has no snooker brain’

Ronnie O’Sullivan, who retired just two days before the Welsh Open, is present at the tournament as a commentator.

But “Racheta” does not distance himself from the speech of his opponents, whom he often scolded or threatened.

This time it was the turn of the British John Astley under the microscope of Ronnie, who believes that he does not have the trump cards to win in snooker.

“Some people are good at math and some are good at English. Some people just have a snooker brain and others don’t pick the right shot and will never play the right shot because their brain doesn’t think like a snooker brain.

There are certain top players, I won’t name names, who I don’t think have snooker brains but have such good technique that they make up for it.

He (nr Astley) has neither. He does not have good technique and snooker brain. He just scores 30-40 points, misses balls and never does anything.

It’s a shame, but you have to have one of these two. You have to have good technique or a snooker brain, and if you don’t have either, maybe it’s time to find something else,” O’Sullivan said, according to Eurosport.

The 2024 Welsh Open will take place from 12th to 18th February at Venue Cymru in Llandudno. The tournament has a total prize pool of £427,000 and the reigning champion is Robert Milkins (2023).
