Dear Snooker Fans and Members of the Snooker Community,
I hope this letter finds you well. As many of you know, recent developments have marked a turning
point in my career and, indeed, in the world of snooker. It’s with a mixture of gratitude and
reflection that I address you today, not only to acknowledge the profound journey we’ve shared but
also to extend my heartfelt appreciation to you, the loyal supporters of our beloved sport.
First and foremost, I want to extend my deepest respect and admiration to Mark Selby. Mark, your
exceptional talent and unwavering dedication have been nothing short of inspirational. Our battles
on the snooker table have always been intense, thrilling, and characterized by a mutual respect that
I hold in the highest regard. You have been a formidable competitor and a worthy adversary, and I
have cherished every moment of our encounters. Your skill, strategic acumen, and sportsmanship
have made a significant impact on the game, and it has been a privilege to share the stage with you.
To the fans of Mark Selby and the broader snooker community, I owe you a tremendous debt of
gratitude. Your support has been a driving force in my career and has enriched the sport we all love.
Your passion and enthusiasm have been a source of inspiration, pushing us all to elevate our game
and bring our best selves to the table. I have always valued the connection between players and
fans, recognizing that it is your support that breathes life into the sport.
Snooker, as you well know, is not just a game; it is a celebration of skill, strategy, and the spirit of
competition. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to witness the evolution of the sport and
to be part of its rich history. The journey has been marked by countless memorable moments,
exhilarating victories, and, at times, challenging defeats. Through it all, the camaraderie and
respect within the snooker community have been constants that have guided me.
As I move forward and step away from competitive snooker, I carry with me the countless
memories, the friendships forged, and the lessons learned. It has been an incredible honor to be
part of this community and to contribute to the legacy of a sport that has given so much to me and
so many others. I hope that my time on the table has brought joy and excitement to you all, and I
trust that the future of snooker will continue to shine brightly with new talents and emerging stars.
To Mark’s fans, I encourage you to continue supporting him with the same fervor and enthusiasm
that you have always shown. To the entire snooker community, I extend my deepest thanks for your
unwavering support and for the role each of you has played in making snooker the remarkable sport it is today.
Thank you all for being a part of this incredible journey. Your support has meant the world to me,
and I am grateful for every moment we have shared. While this chapter is closing, the love for
snooker remains eternal, and I look forward to witnessing the continued growth and success of this
beautiful game.
With sincere appreciation and best wishes,
Ronnie O’Sullivan
