Snooker’s biggest stage has a new star, and Ronnie O'Sullivan saw it coming. The seven-time world champion had long hinted at the rise of Wu Yize—and now that belief has been fully justified.

The 22-year-old produced a sensational performance to defeat Shaun Murphy 18-17 at the Crucible Theatre, becoming one of the youngest winners in the history of the World Snooker Championship.

Wu’s rise has been on the radar for years, ever since he captured the World Under-21 title as a teenager and turned professional in 2021. Over the past few seasons, he has rapidly climbed the ranks, showing the fearless style and composure that now define a world champion.

With O’Sullivan’s prediction now a reality, Wu Yize’s triumph signals the arrival of a new era—and a new force at the very top of the sport.
