Seven-time champion Ronnie O'Sullivan moved into the quarter-finals of the World Championship with a comfortable 13-7 win over Ryan Day.
'The Rocket' is aiming for a record-breaking eighth title in the modern era, having drawn level with Stephen Hendry's tally of seven in 2022.Meanwhile, Kyren Wilson also advanced with a 13-6 win over debutant Joe O’Connor. "If I'd not been as tight or as clinical in some situations, he would probably have got on more of a roll at times," O'Sullivan told BBC Sport.After establishing a commanding lead in the first two sessions of their best-of-25 contest, against an opponent who has not beaten him for 13 years, O'Sullivan appeared in relaxed mood once play got back under way.
While he did present Wales' Day with opportunities to reduce his arrears beyond the frame he did manage to claim, O'Sullivan - who has enlisted the help of coach Nic Barrow - was still relatively untroubled.
