- O’Sullivan: ‘The guy seems to be looking for trouble’
- Trump 5-3 behind going into the evening session
Ronnie O’Sullivan opened up a 5-3 lead against Judd Trump following an enthralling opening session of the World Snooker Championship final, which culminated in O’Sullivan becoming embroiled in an angry exchange with the Belgian referee, Olivier Marteel, in the final frame of the afternoon in Sheffield.
O’Sullivan had won five of the first six frames to take a commanding lead over Trump, before the 32-year-old won the final two frames of the afternoon to narrow the deficit before the evening session on Sunday. However, in that final frame, O’Sullivan and Marteel confronted each other after Marteel appeared to reprimand O’Sullivan as he returned to his seat after failing to escape a snooker on the yellow.
