Up until yesterday, Ronnie O’Sullivan was the bookmakers’ leading candidate for the 2008 World Snooker Champion. Now, two-times World Champion seems closer to relive his days as the bad boy snooker. The Rocket caused turmoil when made a sexually explicit remark, followed by suggestive waving of the microphone at the press conference that followed his match against Marco Fu at the 2008 World Snooker China Open. O’Sullivan will be facing, once again, disciplinary acts. The pre-press conference match ended with O’Sullivan loss to Fu 5-4, by the way. 

And on the tables, China Open’s semi-finals came to an end with Stephen Maguire beating Ryan Day 6-5 and achieving a 147 maximum break on the second frame. On the final match, scheduled to tomorrow, Maguire will be playing against Shaun Murphy who defeated Mary Selby 6-3.
