A bittersweet-sweet performance by Ronni O'Sullivan in the China Open. In the 1st round the five-time World Champion sensationally lost with Elliott Slessor 2-6. The failure with the practically anonymous opponent was sweetened by the punch of the maximum 147 break.
There were 137 attempts in the history of O'Sullivan with a total of 147 points, which means that O'Sullivan has more than 10% of the maximum score. "The "Rocket" has more maximum breaks than Steve Davis, Ken Doherty, Selby, Mark Williams, Judd Trump and Robertson put together.
