A classic rivalry returns to the Crucible as Ken Doherty faces seven-time world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan in the World Seniors Snooker Championship. ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Two legends. Multiple world titles. Countless memories.

From practicing together when Ronnie was a kidโ€ฆ to battling once again on snookerโ€™s biggest stage โ€” this one is pure nostalgia for fans. โค๏ธ๐ŸŽฑ

๐Ÿ’ฌ Can Doherty roll back the years, or will Ronnie remind everyone why heโ€™s the GOAT?

A touching image of Wu Yize alongside Stephen Hendry has captured the hearts of snooker fans around the world.

The โ€œTHEN and NOWโ€ photo shows a young Wu meeting his idol years ago โ€” long before becoming a world champion himself. Fast forward to today, and the two stand side by side again, but this time as fellow stars of the game.

Itโ€™s a powerful reminder of Wuโ€™s incredible journey from dreaming about greatness to achieving it on snookerโ€™s biggest stage. For many fans, the image perfectly symbolizes the passing of the torch from one generation to the next.

For the first time in his career, Ronnie O'Sullivan has gone back-to-back seasons without winning a professional title.

Does the seven-time world champion need to play more next season?

Snookerโ€™s biggest stage has a new star, and Ronnie O'Sullivan saw it coming. The seven-time world champion had long hinted at the rise of Wu Yizeโ€”and now that belief has been fully justified.

The 22-year-old produced a sensational performance to defeat Shaun Murphy 18-17 at the Crucible Theatre, becoming one of the youngest winners in the history of the World Snooker Championship.

Wuโ€™s rise has been on the radar for years, ever since he captured the World Under-21 title as a teenager and turned professional in 2021. Over the past few seasons, he has rapidly climbed the ranks, showing the fearless style and composure that now define a world champion.

With Oโ€™Sullivanโ€™s prediction now a reality, Wu Yizeโ€™s triumph signals the arrival of a new eraโ€”and a new force at the very top of the sport.
