‘ROCKET’ Ronnie O’Sullivan is fasting in his bid to win a record eighth world crown.
The world No.1 is salivating at the prospect of more silverware in Sheffield having ruled the world on seven separate occasions. Fuelled with dim sum, O’Sullivan saw off wasteful qualifier Ryan Day 13-7 to reach a 22nd Crucible quarter-final.
“I’m intermittent fasting for this tournament because it gives me more energy,” said O’Sullivan, who is starving himself for up to 17 hours a day.
“There are certain things I do. It doesn’t necessarily mean I’m going to win, but I need every little advantage I can get at this stage.
“It’s a tournament of endurance, stamina, concentration. For me intermittent fasting gives me a bit more energy.
