SNOOKER

RONNIE O’SULLIVAN begins his Champion Of Champions bid in Coventry today hoping to close in on his grand target.

The Rocket (above) has notched 895 breaks of 100 or more and is aiming to hit 1,000. “I know it is on,” he insisted.

Judd Trump crashed out of the event to Belgium’s Luca Brecel.

The world No.3 was whitewashed 4-0 in just 50 minutes as the 22-year-old rattled in breaks of 103, 105 and 87.
