Top snooker player Ronnie O'Sullivan believes that he would lose to one of his rivals if they were both playing at their peak.

According to snooker experts, Ronnie O'Sullivan is widely regarded as the greatest player in the history of the sport. However, former world champion Stephen Hendry has shared his belief that Mark Selby would come out on top if the two players were to compete at their absolute best.

Hendry, who is known for his sharp cue tips, stated on his channel that Selby is one of the greatest players the game has ever seen. He even went as far as to say that in a match against O'Sullivan, Selby would emerge victorious more often than not. This bold statement is due in part to Selby's mastery of the safety game, which Hendry describes as incomparable.

The veteran snooker player also pointed out Selby's recent win at the British Open, where he displayed an unbeatable performance against Mark Allen and John Higgins in the semi-final and final, respectively. Hendry believes that when Selby is playing at his peak, he is simply unstoppable, and this includes facing off against the likes of O'Sullivan.

Despite currently being ranked number five in the world, Selby has already won four World Championship titles, which is just one shy of Hendry's record of seven. This feat has led Hendry to believe that Selby would be the first to break his record, as he initially thought when Selby won his fourth title. At 41 years old, Selby still has a chance of surpassing Hendry's record and is considered one of the top contenders at the upcoming Crucible tournament.

Hendry was joined by fellow pro Dominic Dale, who also shares his admiration for Selby's skills on the table. Dale compared Selby to tennis legend Novak Djokovic, stating that when both players are at their best, they are virtually unbeatable. In fact, Dale goes as far as to say that Selby's safety game is on par or even better than that of John Higgins, a four-time world champion himself.

Fans will have the chance to witness Selby and O'Sullivan in action at the upcoming Masters tournament, where O'Sullivan will face off against John Higgins and Selby will take on Ali Carter. It will be a thrilling match between two of the greatest players in the sport, and who knows, perhaps Selby will prove Hendry's prediction to be true and come out on top once again.
