Laila Rouass, the partner of snooker legend Ronnie O'Sullivan, has recently spoken out about the ongoing rivalry between her partner and Ali Carter. Despite having known each other since they were young players, there has always been tension between the two, and it reached a boiling point during the Masters final earlier this month.
As O'Sullivan secured his record-breaking eighth title, Carter made a bizarre accusation, claiming that O'Sullivan had been "snotting all over the floor." In response, O'Sullivan fired back with a fiery outburst, calling Carter a "f***ing nightmare" and telling him to "sort his f***ing life out." Laila agrees with her partner's sentiments, stating that Carter needs to "hush his mouth" and focus on his own game.
The tension between O'Sullivan and Carter has been ongoing for years, with Carter even making derogatory comments about O'Sullivan's chances of winning another World Championship title. But as we all know, O'Sullivan proved him wrong by winning yet again. Laila reminds Carter that his words did not age well, and tells him to concentrate on his own game rather than trying to bring down others.
Seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry believes that the feud between O'Sullivan and Carter may be due to the intense mental strain of the snooker schedule. He also warns Carter to be careful that this rivalry does not affect his game negatively. Winning big events can take a toll on a player's mental and emotional state, and it's important for both O'Sullivan and Carter to take care of themselves.
Despite the ongoing feud, Laila and O'Sullivan's relationship remains strong. Laila supports her partner and believes that he will not be affected by the drama, as he often brushes off such things easily. However, she worries about the impact it may have on Carter, especially as he has to face O'Sullivan again in the upcoming Grand Prix.
In the end, Laila's message to Carter is clear: focus on your own game and leave the drama behind. The next time these two rivals meet on the snooker table, it's bound to be a heated match, but Laila hopes that both players will be able to put their differences aside and focus on the game. As for O'Sullivan, Laila reminds us that he has a unique mindset that sets him apart from other players, and it's something that young players like Zak Crawley admire.
