O\u2019Sullivan is currently in action at the Shanghai Masters as he looks to defend his title, but how snooker will cope after the icon retires remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Hendry has admitted that O\u2019Sullivan\u2019s retirement is \u201ca worry\u201d having been the face of snooker for several decades. The Rocket jointly with Hendry holds the record for the most World Snooker Championship titles &#8211; the pair have seven each. But at 47, O\u2019Sullivan has been clear that he could quit the game in the near future, to Hendry\u2019s worry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he\u2019s not in a tournament it\u2019s not the same,\u201d Hendry said on Up Front With Simon Jordan. \u201cHis truly great performances are going to be fewer and further between now than they were because he\u2019s getting older, he\u2019s doing other things. Getting himself up to play a tournament is going to be harder and harder. On his day he\u2019s still the best player by a mile. If he plays his best he wins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is the superstar of snooker. He\u2019s the only player who won\u2019t go to China unless he\u2019s getting appearance money, and he\u2019ll get it. As far as I know, no other players are charging appearance money. He is the lone, true star in snooker.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> JUST IN <\/strong> <strong>Snooker star left with egg on his face after forgetting rules and admitting loss[SPOTTED] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/4\/590x\/secondary\/Ronnie-O-Sullivan-snooker-retire-4955195.jpg?r=1694511550526\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo that\u2019s a worry. Although there are other players playing an unbelievable standard of snooker. [Neil] Robertson, [Judd] Trump, [Mark] Williams, [Mark] Selby, they\u2019re all unbelievable snooker players. But unfortunately, and I think they know this, he is the one that brings that bit of stardust to the tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, O\u2019Sullivan opened up on how he only has a maximum of a few years left in the game, having already admitted that another sport takes priority over snooker as the Rocket is an avid runner.<\/p>\n<p>We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you&#8217;ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
