Ronnie O'Sullivan has revealed he wants his new all-access documentary to be snooker's answer to the acclaimed 2010 film about Formula One legend Ayrton Senna. The world No 1 has granted a camera crew unrestricted access at the Crucible for a film about his life.
Speaking ahead of his second-round match at the World Championship on Friday, the 46-year-old said: 'I told them, "You've got as much access as you need. If we're going to do it let's do it bloody good."' He added that the Senna film inspired him, noting its focus on the driver's human side.
O'Sullivan acknowledged differences between himself and Senna, describing himself as 'more artistic' while Senna was 'very focused on being the best. A born winner.' He said: 'We are very different characters so it's quite weird how I am drawn towards someone who is the opposite of me, but I loved him.'
In other Crucible action, three-time champion Mark Williams recorded four century breaks as he defeated Michael White 10-3 to set up an all-Welsh second-round meeting with Jackson Page.
