BBC SPORT | Superb Rocket beats Ding in final:

]]>Ronnie O’Sullivan knocked in four century breaks as he beat Ding Junhui 10-3 to win his third Masters title in front of a raucous Wembley Arena crowd.
O’Sullivan lost the first two frames to the 19-year-old Chinese star but roared back to lead 5-3 at the interval.

The unstoppable Rocket raced through the next four frames to move 9-3 ahead, prompting Ding to offer his hand in resignation before leaving the arena.

… O’Sullivan put his arm around a visibly distraught Ding just before the players walked off for the first interval of the session after the teenager offered his hand.

O'Sullivan was delighted with his victory and heaped praise on the groundbreaking competition, which introduced a unique 25 second shot-clock.

"This has been my favourite tournament of the year. The World Snooker Association could learn something from the way it's been run," said O'Sullivan.

"There have been no slow frames with people falling asleep."

]]>Graeme Dott admits he will start as a huge underdog when he takes on Ronnie O'Sullivan in Sunday's World Championship final at The Crucible.

Dott has never won a major title and is the rank outsider after starting the tournament at odds of 200-1.

The Scot edged past Matthew Stevens 17-15 in the semis, while 2001 champion O'Sullivan crushed Stephen Hendry 17-4.

"How do you stop a machine?" said Dott. "How many frames did Hendry win against him? What chance have I got?

"The semi-final was basically my final. I'll try my hardest but what's the worst thing that can happen? I lose 18-0 and get £125,000 and I'm back in the top 16."

...

O'Sullivan courted controversy in the early rounds but he looked more focused than ever in beating Hendry.

The Englishman was in breathtaking form on Friday when he took seven of eight frames in the second session against Hendry, and he is not about to underestimate his final opponent.

"Graeme's a tenacious player," said O' Sullivan.
