Ronnie O’Sullivan fell short in his attempts to win a record eighth World Snooker Championship
The 2024 World Snooker Championship takes place in Sheffield between April 20 and May 6.

The Rocket had appeared on a collision course with Judd Trump in the semi-finals, only for Trump to be beaten 13-9 by Welsh qualifier Jack Jones in a shock result.
