Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters final LIVE RESULTS: Neil Robertson BEATS Ronnie O'Sullivan in tense £500K shiwpiece
RONNIE O'SULLIVAN came agonisingly close to winning this year's Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters - but he was pipped to the title by Australian star Neil Robertson. The seven-time world champion fought back from 6-2 down at the interval before leading 9-8 in the showpiece match. But Robertson completed a comeback of his own to win the nailbiting encounter 10-9. However, The Rocket still takes home £147k for hitting TWO 147s during his semi-final encounter against Chris Wakelin. 15th Aug 2025, 10:40 By Connor Greaves Pocket money The world's best snooker stars will be playing for a record-breaking £2,302,000 prize pot. And the winner is set to bank a mammoth £500,000 while players who hit a 147 break take home a £50,000 bonus. Here is the full prize money breakdown: Winner: £500,000 Runner-up: £200,000 Semi-final: £100,000 Quarter-final: £50,000 Last 16: £30,000 Last 32: £20,000 Last 48: £11,000 Last 80: £7,000 Last 112: £4,000 Last 144: £2,000 147 break: £50,000 Total: £2,302,000 15th Aug 2025, 10:22 By Connor Greaves Ron-ing away with it What a comeback it was last night from Ronnie O'Sullivan in his epic quarter-final match against Kyren Wilson The Rocket found himself two frames down at one stage and seemed as if he could be ending for an early exit. But three consecutive frames later, Ronnie booked his semi-final spot, where he will be taking on Chris Wakelin And he'll be the firm favourite to go all the way and win the tournament. By Connor Greaves Super semis Welcome back to SunSport's coverage of the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters, and we have reached what is expected to be a blockbuster semi-final stage. One hundred and twenty-eight WST stars started in the field at the iconic Green Halls alongside 16 wild cards from Saudi. Judd Trump returned as defending champion after he beat Mark Williams 10-9 in a match of the year contender to win the inaugural title last year. But the World No 1 surprisingly went crashing out at the first hurdle following a 5-3 loss to Oliver Lines. This then opened the door for Seven-time world champ Ronnie O'Sullivan to take the crown in Saudi after his disappointing quarter-final defeat to Kyren Wilson at the Shanghai Masters. And he is just two wins away from claiming the huge jackpot after beating Kyren Wilson 6-5 in yesterday's nailbiting quarter-final. Don't go anywhere, as coming right up, we'll have any breaking news, latest stories and of course the action from both semi-finals, with the first match getting underway from 12pm BST.

Heartbreak for Ronnie O'Sullivan as he loses out to Neil Robertson and on £500k in final-frame thriller
NEIL ROBERTSON held off a spirited comeback from Ronnie O'Sullivan to land a £500,000 desert jackpot in a final-frame thriller. The Australian cueist, 43, secured the biggest pay cheque of his career as he beat the Rocket 10-9 in a wonderful Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters final. 2 2 Robertson, who was dominant in the afternoon session, led 7-2 and was only three frames away from the victory in the so-called 'fourth major'. Maximum Man O'Sullivan, 49, won five frames in a row – his 139 in frame 10 was the 1300th century of his career – to level up at 7-7. Yet despite going 9-8 down following his opponent's fightback, the Thunder from Down Under did not lose faith in Jeddah. And following an O'Sullivan error, he capitalised with a superb break of 87 in a nervy clincher. It was the second year running that this title had gone down to a final frame. It was Robertson's 26th ranking tournament victory, his second this calendar year, and frame 19 was the most expensive in snooker history – worth £300,000 to the winner. When Robertson became champion of the world in 2010, he earned £250,000 for his troubles. But the Saudis have stumped up half a million quid for this tournament, now in its second year, to rival the same fee for the current Crucible conqueror. Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters Prize Money O'Sullivan, using a new cue for this season, will not be too disappointed by his performance in the Kingdom. He will fly back to his new base in Dubai with £200,000 for being the finalist at this nine-day event, a £147,000 147 bonus plus an extra £33,333 for getting the event's high break. That is because on Friday evening he hit TWO 147s in the 6-3 semi-final win over fellow Englishman Chris Wakelin. It was an incredible feat – it had only ever been done once before in professional snooker – and he has earned a whopping bonus off the World Snooker Tour. Welshman Jackson Page hit two maximums in World Championship Qualifying in Sheffield, but O'Sullivan's pair of clearances came in a best-of-11 frames match. For Robertson, he gets to enjoy the glory of success as well as the cash. Speaking after the victory, he said: "I cannot possibly explain in words what it means. 'To play Ronnie in a final of this magnitude when I was a kid in Australia, I could never have dreamt of that. 'The way he came back, my God, being in this arena was the last place I wanted to be. 'It was incredible. The frame he won to go 8-8, the brown was absolutely incredible. He was unlucky in the last frame. 'If he lands on the ball at 9-8, it's all over. I'm incredibly grateful to be able to share this stage with him. 'It's not about winning and losing, it's about me doing my best and putting on a great match for everyone. The crowd got their money's worth these last two years. 'I think this surpasses the World Championship win. I have had to answer a lot of questions. 'Can I beat someone like Ronnie in a final of this magnitude? To beat him with so much on the line, it's definitely my best win.' While O'Sullivan said: 'Neil deserved his victory. He was the better player. I tried to hang up to him, make a game of it. 'I was pleased I did that tonight. At 6-2 down, he outplayed me. At 7-2 it looked like it was an early night. 'I'm pleased to take it a little bit longer. Neil played the best snooker all week. 'I came here and would have been happy to win a couple of matches. So, to get to the final, I'm very, very happy. You cannot be too greedy. I am disappointed I didn't win.'
