Snooker legend Ronnie O'Sullivan failed in his quest for a record-breaking eighth World Snooker Championship after he was shocked by Belgian Luca Brecel in the quarter-finals at the Crucible in Sheffield on Wednesday.
O'Sullivan, 47, also known as the Rocket, went down 10-13. He was up 10-6 on Tuesday evening after the second session and looked all set to storm into the semi-finals. However, an in-form Brecel, 28, took the next seven straight frames to shock the former champion.
