Snooker: Ronnie O'Sullivan irked by his game

RONNIE O'SULLIVAN delivered a scathing criticism of his game despite fighting back from 3-0 down to beat Neil Robertson 6-4 in an eventful second-round match at snooker's Pokerstars.com Masters at Wembley.

O'Sullivan looked set to be on his way out as Robertson moved into a convincing lead with a minimum of fuss. But the four-time Masters champion stormed back with two centuries and three half-century breaks to set up a quarter-final clash with Peter Ebdon. The Essex player was thoroughly underwhelmed by his performance, though. "I scored a few and applied a bit of pressure," he said. "I'd give my long potting two out of 10."

In yesterday's other game, Mark Williams shook off the effects of whiplash from a car accident to beat Ali Carter. Williams hurt his neck in a car accident on Monday night but showed few signs of any ill-effects as he won 6-3.
