In a stunning comeback, world No. 1 Ronnie O'Sullivan rallied from a 6-3 deficit to triumph over Ali Carter 10-7, securing his eighth Snooker Masters title.
O'Sullivan, who had struggled to find his best form throughout the week, faced a challenging start in the final against world No. 10 Carter. Trailing 6-3, O'Sullivan mounted a remarkable comeback, winning three consecutive frames to level the score at 6-6, as reported by Xinhua.
Despite Carter's efforts to regain the lead with a break of 127, O'Sullivan proved relentless, ultimately sealing the victory with a scoreline of 10-7.
At 48 years old, O'Sullivan not only secured his eighth Masters title but also became the oldest winner in the history of the prestigious invitational event. Remarkably, O'Sullivan holds the dual distinction of being the youngest champion at the Masters, having claimed the title at the age of 19.
