“It is great to win another ranking title.  I am my own worst critic at times but it was very, very good today,” said O’Sullivan. “ I made a lot of good and important breaks and felt good among the balls.  I will keep driving myself on to reach a higher level. 

“I am enjoying the challenge of hanging in there against these young players but you play well if you have to – and I know what a good player Kyren is.”
