O’sullivan: I’ve got nothing to prove

SNOOKER legend Ronnie O’sullivan insists he has nothing left to prove in the sport.

All-conquering O’sullivan (above) has won everything in the game, but has failed to land a ranking title since his sixth Crucible crown last year.

The Rocket roared to FIVE finals last season but suffered heartache each time with painful defeats.

“Reaching five finals, if you consider that a bad season for me then that’s quite a compliment in many ways,” admitted the world No.3, ahead of next week’s English Open.

“I don’t think about last season at all. I never question my ability. Winning tournaments is just a by-product of what you do.

“You just have less to prove. You get to a certain point it’s a privilege to still be playing the game.

“I have tremendous belief in my ability that if I play well then I have a good chance of winning.

“Even if I don’t well I still have a chance, I’ve won a lot of tournaments not playing my best.”
