Ronnie O’Sullivan cut a frustrated figure as he addressed his first round defeat to He Guoqiang on Tuesday.
And the Rocket told The Sun: “I’m absolutely useless, that’s why [I lost]. Forget about the Worlds. I’m not even bothered to be honest with you – if I’m going to play rubbish I might as well play left-handed.
“Play left-handed and enjoy it, but be useless, or play right-handed, be useless and not enjoy it. I haven’t got long, I’m not going to deny it, I’m not playing well enough. There’s no point in even worrying about it – I’ve just accepted it now which is quite a nice place to be really.”
