RONNIE O’SULLIVAN is eyeing more history at the 2024 Shanghai Masters – and starts his campaign on TUESDAY.
The Rocket will lead a strong field of snooker’s biggest names at the Shanghai Grand Stage in China.
He heads into the tournament as the defending champion after beating Luca Brecel 11-9 in the 2023 final.
O’Sullivan’s victory last year was his fourth in a row and fifth overall at the event.
Ahead of this year’s tournament, SunSport has all the information you need.
