Ronnie O’Sullivan was knocked out in the opening round of the 2024 Champion of Champions tournament in Bolton by China’s Xiao Guodong.<\/b><\/p>\n

O’Sullivan, 48, a four-time winner of the event, had taken a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven-frames match, only to lose 4-3 after a superb comeback from Xiao.<\/p>\n

Breaks of 95 and 125 in frames two and three respectively had seven-time world champion O’Sullivan on course to reach Thursday’s quarter-final at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.<\/p>\n

But Xiao produced breaks of 130, 88 and 85 before winning the final frame 64-35.<\/p>\n

He will face the winner of the last-16 match between Mark Selby and Shaun Murphy in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

It is O’Sullivan’s second consecutive defeat. Last week, he was knocked out of the 2024 International Championship by Pang Junxu, also from China, at the last-32 stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
