RONNIE O'SULLIVAN has branded Ali Carter a "f***ing nightmare" in an expletiveladen rant.
The Rocket fought back from 6-3 down to beat fellow Essex potter Carter 10-7 in Sunday's Masters final.
Carter branded a boisterous crowd "morons" after he let a maiden Masters crown slip from his grasp. But, in an astonishing four-letter tirade, O'Sullivan hit back after Carter also alleged that he "snotted" on the floor at London's Alexandra Palace.
"He needs to sort his f***ing life out, slammed world No.1 O'Sullivan. "I'm not going to skirt around it anymore, tip-toeing on eggshells around someone like that. He's a f***ing nightmare.
"He's not a nice person. It's not a nice vibe he leaves around the table. I've said my piece, I don't give a s**t. I've said it now, done.
"You know what he's like, everybody knows what he's like. He's got issues. Why has he got issues with me? I'm not having it. I don't care, grow some balls.
