Ronnie O'Sullivan makes history with EIGHTH UK Championship<\/h3>\n

Ronnie O\u2019Sullivan insisted that John Higgins needs to be more \u201caggressive\u201d in his game after crashing out of the Scottish Open. Higgins reached the semi-finals in Edinburgh and had hoped to win his first rankings title since early 2021, but was defeated 6-3 by Noppon Saengkham after losing the final five frames of the match.<\/p>\n

Higgins\u2019 disappointing form in recent years has drawn plenty of criticism, including from O\u2019Sullivan who previously called on the Wizard of Wishaw to improve and be able to grind out wins when he is not performing to the highest level.<\/p>\n

Higgins was in command as he led Saengkham 3-1 but all of a sudden collapsed, prompting O\u2019Sullivan to advise his fellow Class of 92 member to play more on the front foot.<\/p>\n

“If I was giving John a bit of advice I\u2019d probably say be a bit more aggressive,\u201d O\u2019Sullivan told Eurosport. \u201cI think to win matches now at this level you have got to find a high gear. John is very solid, but I don\u2019t know if solid is good enough at the moment with this level.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he has got to push the boundaries a bit more. He is such a good player that if he came out and played with the aggressiveness that Noppon played with I think he would scare people more. It is tough to give someone like John advice, no one knows his game better than John does, but I just watch him sometimes and if he was to really push the boat out – that\u2019s all I think he can try.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one likes playing someone that is coming at you at 100mph constantly. When someone backs off a bit you can get comfortable in the match and John has got to stop letting people feel comfortable against him. With John he just wants to win something and I think his best way of doing it is going and going.<\/p>\n
