O'Sullivan claims victory in just one visit
He is expected to be the winner of the world snooker title this year. He will also attempt to match the record set by Stephen Hendry, who won seven titles. Hendry had six titles between 1973-1978 and held the previous record. O'Sullivan, who is currently the world number 1, is expected to add another title to his collection before he retires.

Trump's comeback to win the world of snooker
The match was in doubt for most of the match as Trump's long game was falling apart. He was down eight frames to five in the second half of the game when O'Sullivan extended his lead by breaking the table with an 87 in frame 14. Trump recovered from this setback and scored a stunning long red in the second frame. Trump's cueball ran into another red, and disappeared into the corner pockets. Trump's comeback was not over. The match went on, and the players traded frames until it reached 10-5.
Trump did well under the stress of the final, but was unable to capitalize on it. Trump's return to winning the world snooker title was delayed by his failure to concentrate in the morning session. Referee Olivier Marteel warned Trump and he did not appear happy when players returned to the evening session.
