Ronnie O'Sullivan is 7/2 to retire in 2022 according to bookmakers
Snooker legend Ronnie O'Sullivan has seemingly always flirted with the idea of retirement.
In a career that has had many ups and downs, O'Sullivan has taken breaks here and there to help out with his mental health and let him continue to play the game he loves.
At the age of 46, now could be the time where he looks to retire and at 7/2 bookmakers clearly think there's a chance it could happen.
The retirement of O'Sullivan would be a bit of a blow for the sport, with the Rocket being a household name in Snooker.
O'Sullivan won the World Snooker Championship only back in 2020, so it's clear that he's still got a lot to give when it comes to the sport.
Bookies go 6/4 that any player beats O'Sullivan's fastest break ever in 2022
Ronnie O'Sullivan became so popular in Snooker because of the style and speed in which he plays.
At just 5 minutes and 20 seconds, the 147 break in Round 1 of the 1997 World Snooker Championship will be tough to beat in the scheme of things.
Ronnie himself holds the record for the most 147 breaks, with 15 maximums throughout his career, the last coming in 2018.
It'll be interesting to see if the record is broken at some point, with the sport constantly progressing and changing with new stars coming through.
O'Sullivan could also be a contender for Sports Personality of the Year if he was to retire next year.

Any Snooker player to win the award next year is 20/1 with bookies and as mentioned previously, it could be O'Sullivan who's in the running if he was to retire in the same year.
