O'Sullivan Goes Down With All Guns Blazing

Snooker: Ronnie O'Sullivan's no-holds-barred approach ended in defeat against Marco Fu at the China Open
Ronnie O'Sullivan's no-holds-barred approach brought defeat in the first round of the China Open in Beijing yesterday when he lost 5-4 to Marco Fu.

O'Sullivan went for virtually everything, including two difficult blues at the end of the decider when tight safety play was required.

Shaun Murphy, the 2005 world champion, beat Dave Harold 5-3 after a 1hr 33min 12sec eighth frame, the longest in the game's history by 13sec.
