Ronnie O`Sullivan to defend Paul Hunter Classic Title

Rusty?

Earlier than most of the peoples supposed and just after confirm he will be playing at The Shanghai Masters next month, Ronnie O`Sullivan decides to defend his Paul Hunter Classic title(August, 21 to 24) - which he got by beating Gerard Greene 4-0 last year - and will be back to snooker.

It's the second of 6 European Tour's, and a good result here could guarantee his place in the Players Championship Grand Final.

But Ronnie also have a German sponsor, and likes the place, it surely helped for his decision to play.
Himself have admitted that he haven't practiced too much after the World Championship Final, but he'd back to the practice table and he looks to be feeling good with himself and very motivated for it.


Ronnie O`Sullivan, who is right now in the 4th position at the World Rankings, will start his campaign in the Ranking Events this season in the Shanghai Masters next month, days 8 to 14.
It's a while since last time O`Sullivan played in China, so there will certainly be a lot of sponsors interested, and is always good to plus some points in the Ranking, and of course, this tournament can give Ronnie his guaranteed place at the Grand Prix 2015.

But anyway, Ronnie O`Sullivan have said he is focused only in the snooker, and wants to get the title.
Well, and if peoples think he will be rusty, I think the others players didn't played so much events while Ronnie was off, and if he is rusty, hopefully he can recharge at the Paul Hunter Classic and go 100 per cent for the Shanghai Masters.



I will be back later this month with the Shanghai Masters Preview and of course, talking about the Paul Hunter Classic.
