<\/p>\nRonnie O’Sullivan has battled his way into the World Open final after an absolute nail-biter against Wu Yize this morning.<\/p>\n
The seven-time world champion found himself staring down the barrel at 43-0 behind in the deciding frame, but ‘The Rocket’ did what he does best.<\/p>\n
He punished a wayward safety from his Chinese opponent by drilling home a long red, then kept his cool to rattle off a stunning 89 clearance and seal a 6-5 triumph.<\/p>\n
It was a proper scrap throughout. O’Sullivan raced into a 2-0 lead and looked comfortable at 3-1, but the world number 11 refused to go quietly, dragging things level at 3-3.<\/p>\n

From there, it turned into a best-of-five shootout, with both players trading brilliant breaks. <\/p>\n
O’Sullivan fired in runs of 97 and 118, while Wu responded with efforts of 86 and 77 before that dramatic finale.<\/p>\n
This thriller came just 24 hours after O’Sullivan made snooker history with a sensational 153 break against Ryan Day in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n
The 50-year-old managed to leave the Welshman in a snooker right at the start of the opening frame, and when Day’s escape attempt went wrong, O’Sullivan was handed a free ball.<\/p>\n
Producing this in a deciding frame at 43-0 down…<\/p>\n
