Ali Carter Fires Back at Ronnie O’Sullivan as Feud Escalates

Ali Carter has responded to Ronnie O'Sullivan‘s heated remarks as their ongoing feud continues to escalate. The controversy first erupted when O’Sullivan staged a dramatic comeback to defeat Carter in the finals of the Masters at Alexandra Palace on Sunday. In his post-match press conference, Carter criticized O’Sullivan for his behavior on the table and the supporting crowd.

Reacting to Carter’s comments, O’Sullivan unleashed a scathing reply, asserting that his opponent needs to “sort his f***ing life out” and accused him of being a “nightmare” to play against. The explosive press conference intensified the already heated feud between the two snooker players, prompting the World Snooker Tour to initiate an investigation.

However, Carter responded to O’Sullivan’s verbal attack with a measured stance. Dismissing any anger towards O’Sullivan, he expressed concern for O’Sullivan’s mental well-being and suggested that he needs professional help. Carter emphasized that O’Sullivan’s opinions and words would not affect him and implied that the seven-time world champion may not be mentally stable.

The ongoing dispute between the two snooker stars has attracted significant attention, and fans eagerly anticipate their potential clash at the upcoming World Championship in April. As the World Grand Prix began in Leicester, both players had the opportunity of facing each other if they progress to the final.
