\u201cWith Ray Reardon, I know how much he added to my game, and I feel I would have to have that sort of impact on a player to be able to warrant being there and around them. I would not want to waste someone\u2019s time. It is a tricky job to take on as you do not want to make them worse.”<\/p>\n
O\u2019Sullivan also suggested that the majority of younger stars in the game are unable to win games without being at their best, something that himself, John Higgins, Mark Williams and Mark Selby are able to do – calling on the current crop to improve at that facet of the game.<\/p>\n

That is what you need to have to be able to win, as you are not always going to be able to play well.\u201d<\/p>\n O\u2019Sullivan will next head back to Asia for next week\u2019s Wuhan Open but has suggested that his professional career could be coming to an end sooner rather than later as a result of an elbow injury that he described as \u201ccareer-threatening\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cPotentially, it could be career-threatening as far as playing on the top-level circuit,\u201d O\u2019Sullivan recently said. \u201cI mean if it stays like this, yeah, I wouldn\u2019t be able to play. I might be able to compete in the odd matches here or there. But trying to win tournaments, not being able to play power shots, I wouldn\u2019t be able to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
