Ronnie O Sullivan s Performance at the Snooker UK Championship 2018

Ronnie O Sullivan, the defending champion, defeated Mark Allen 10–6 in the final, winning his 7th UK Championship and his 34th ranking event overall. In doing so, he became the first player since Stephen Hendry in 1996 to successfully defend the UK title. O Sullivan broke Hendry s record for the most Triple Crown titles (18), Steve Davis s record of UK Championship titles (6) and became the second player to defend all Triple Crown tournaments at least once, after Hendry.
