Ronnie O’Sullivan beat Ali Carter to win the final of the 2024 Masters, lifting the iconic crystal trophy for a record eighth time.
Both players produced some high-quality, high-pace snooker in the final. Carter took the first frame before O’Sullivan responded with a rapid century and another quick frame to lead 2-1. Carter, though, went into the mini-break with the scores level after producing a magical 125.
O’Sullivan’s attacking approach proved both a blessing and a curse, as he let in Carter who made no mistake with another fabulous century to lead 3-2. They shared the next two frames, before the final frame of the afternoon went the way of Carter, to take a 5-3 lead into the evening in this race to 10.
O’Sullivan came out firing to close the gap in the evening, and they reach the mid-session interval level at 6-6. But from there the seven-time world champion accelerated away, clinching a 10-7 victory.
