Ronnie O'Sullivan has made his feelings clear on the snooker facilities in Saudi Arabia in comparison to some UK venues.
He then took the final two frames - including the final frame in one visit - to win his second match in Riyadh.and gave his unequivocal verdict on how the facilities in Saudi Arabia compare to some of the events held in the UK."At home, you'll be at the venue, and you'll literally just go there just to get your practice in and get out of there, because you don't even get a cup of tea there.
There have been several criticisms raised about the tournament, including the Gulf nation's human rights record and the crowd numbers .about the standard of snooker facilities in the country and how they could be translated to some other world venues.From a purely sporting perspective, there is an acceptance among some pundits that the financial value of the 10-year contract that World Snooker signed to play in Saudi Arabia is vital to snooker's immediate future.
"I don't gain confidence in winning tournaments," he began. "Because if I would have done, I'd be probably the most confident man on the planet. "I don't think I win here is going to cut it for me. It's more about, you know, the fluency, the composure, the cue action, the smoothness of getting through the ball, all those sorts of things are really more important to me than winning tournaments.
