Snooker World Championship: World No.1 Ronnie O'Sullivan's chances of an eighth title, which would move him one ahead of Stephen Hendry's total, are over for another year, as he lost to Stuart Bingham 10-13 in the quarterfinal of the World Championship.

The seven-time world champion O'Sullivan had been on course for a career-best season, having won five titles including the UK Championship and the Masters. But his hopes of landing all three events in the same season for the first time are over.

He also lost the world number one ranking which he had held since April 2022, world snooker reports.
