Van Gough didn't. He topped himself.

He has done. Five times already.
Actually, most geniuses are flawed and don't handle pressure very well. Einstein for example failed his exams for the Swiss Polytechnic...Beethoven did not like to play the piano for big crowds... Edison was the worst student in his school...

Lisowski is a genius. He just went 9:0 behind.

Realisticaly, he has 2, at most 3 great cracks to win the World Title. Once he's past 45, you cant expect him to win another one. This is not the 70s and 80s anymore.
no one in the 80's won it in their 40's.

Another year wasted. I really thought it would be Ronnie's year after his comeback against Maguire and Selby crashing out.
Damn it.

I'd swap the five rankers he won this season with the world title. No question.

Me too. 5 rankers are absolutely great, especially the UK, but given the choice another Worlds would top that.

It is all very well O'Sullivan winning all these short format events, even The Masters and The UK, but unless he at least equals Hendry's modern era 7 Worlds then he cannot be the G.O.A.T.
