Ronnie O’Sullivan reveals that he suffers from post-match’snooker depression’ and that ‘talking about my games puts me in a bad place’ – after admitting that he ‘couldn’t give a monkey’s’ about winning the World Championship.
Ronnie O’Sullivan has revealed that he suffers from’snooker depression’ and that it lasts up to three hours after his matches.
O’Sullivan is currently competing in the European Masters and, despite defeating world No. 104 Zhang Anda in a decider to set up a last-32 match with Wu Yize, has stated that he does not enjoy competing for success in the sport.
‘I find it difficult to talk about my games; I have snooker depression for two or three hours after my matches,’ O’Sullivan said after his 5-4 victory, which included a break of 128.

O’Sullivan’s remarks follow his admission that he was ‘bored’ of snooker shortly after defeating Nigel Bond to qualify for the European Masters.
The six-time world champion is one title short of Stephen Hendry’s modern-day record, but admits he has no desire to match the Scot’s total.
