World Champion Ronnie O’Sullivan Added to British Seniors Snooker Open Line-Up

Ronnie O’Sullivan returns to the World Seniors Snooker (WSS) Tour for the British Open at Vaillant Live in Derby on 27-28 December.

Widely regarded as the greatest player of all-time, ‘The Rocket’ is a seven-time world professional champion and added the World Seniors Championship title to his incredible list of titles earlier this year.

O’Sullivan joins a star-studded line-up that also includes ‘The Whirlwind’ Jimmy White, defending champion Joe Perry and 12-time World Women’s Snooker champion Reanne Evans.

1997 world champion Ken Doherty, former UK champion Stephen Maguire and former World Seniors champion Mark Davis will also feature in Derby with one more name still to be announced.

O’Sullivan said: Derby was always an annual visit on the tour when I was first playing, and the Assembly Rooms was a great venue – Vaillant Live looks even better! I am looking forward to going back there for the British Seniors Open this Christmas. They’ve always loved their snooker in Derby.”

Jason Francis, Chairman of WSS, said: “Last year was the return of snooker to the city and look how Derby welcomed us in person and over 4 million watched on Channel 5. Just imagine what it’s going to be like this year with the World Seniors champion in town… I think a lot of people will be adding to their wish list for Christmas presents today so get your tickets quick!”
