Ronnie O’Sullivan wins the 2012 Betfred World Snooker Championship
 
Click on Google+ at the top or Facebook like to share this slide show!

Ronnie O’Sullivan became the World Snooker champion for the fourth time on Monday evening when he claimed the 2012 title by beating Ali Carter
 
Ronnie O’Sullivan was not the bookmaker favourite to win the 2012 Betfred World Snooker Championship, although the Rocket rolled back the years to claim a fourth world title at The Crucible much to the delight of his legion of fans.
 
From his first round match against Peter Ebdon, O’Sullivan demonstrated not only that he was in terrific form but also that his mentality had improved to the extent where his safety play was nearly as impressive as his potting around the table.
 
After beating Ebdon, the Rocket then comfortably beat Mark Williams before coming from 5-3 down to beat 2010 champion Neil Robertson in a quarter final match which could quite easily have been the final.
 
By this time, sponsors Betfred were making O’Sullivan strong favourite to win his fourth crown and he made sure of a comfortable semi-final victory over Matthew Stevens before beating Ali Carter in the final.
 
The 36-year-old now joins an exclusive band of players that have secured four world titles and declared after the final that he will be taking a six month break from the game before returning to defend his crown and play in other ranking tournaments.
