Enough? 'To be the real Ronnie, I need to get away'

YORK, England - Ronnie O'Sullivan has once more threatened to quit snooker, saying he wants to enjoy life.

Although he has been the sport's most popular player for the bulk of his 20-year career, with his presence sure to add to crowds in an era of largely bland players, that hasn't stopped O'Sullivan from repeatedly saying he will walk away from the green baize for good.

The former world champion's two-year wait for a ranking title continued on Tuesday as he was beaten 6-5 by Judd Trump in the UK Championship's second round.
