Snooker scores LIVE: Mark Selby and Ronnie O’Sullivan updates | Other | Sport

Ahead of his Crucible opener, Mark Selby spoke exclusively to Express Sport about his desire to win a fifth world title and how his next few years could be shaped by Ronnie O’Sullivan.

Selby, 42, believes that watching the Rocket has inspired him to extend his own career.

He told us: “I’d like to win it once more, if possible, to get to five. Me and John Higgins are tied on four. It would be nice to get one more and be out there on my own on five. When you start talking about seven or eight… I’m not getting any younger.

“But look at someone like Ronnie, who’s 50, and still playing amazing snooker. People like that inspire you because, as long as you stay fit and healthy and still have the hunger, there’s no reason why you cannot play top-level snooker at that age.”
