Ronnie O’Sullivan led Kyren Wilson 10-7 at the end of the first day of snooker’s world championship final after letting slip an 8-2 lead at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre on Saturday.
O’Sullivan was 6-2 up after the underwhelming opening session and won the next two frames before the evening unravelled.
The five-time champion proceeded to lose five out of seven frames as fellow-Englishman Wilson grew in confidence in his first final.

“He (O’Sullivan) had to sit and suffer for a long period of time while he went off the boil and his opponent started to get his tail up and come back,” commented six-time world champion Steve Davis on BBC television.
