BBC SPORT | Other Sport | World Snooker | O’Sullivan crushes Hamilton:

Ronnie O’Sullivan turned in a magical performance as he became the first player to reach the semi-finals with a 13-3 demolition of Anthony Hamilton.

The Rocket left his opponent trailing in his wake as he rattled in four centuries on his way to victory.

Hamilton was always likely to be facing mission impossible after ending the morning session 7-1 adrift.

He managed to win two of the evening frames, but O’Sullivan sealed the match in the 16th with a session to spare.
