O’Sullivan breezes to a 6-2 win over Hossein VafaeiDing beats Judd Trump 6-4 in other semi-final
Ronnie O’Sullivan says he is motivated by the opportunity to “ruin the careers” of his major rivals after he breezed into the ninth UK Championship final of his career with a 6-2 win over Hossein Vafaei in York.
Thirty years after he first won the title as a 17-year-old in 1993, O’Sullivan will face Ding Junhui on Sunday seeking to win a record-extending eighth crown and to shut the Chinese player out from building his own collection of silverware.
