I just watched Ronnie O'Sullivan's 153 break that xe made the other day.

The free ball really wasn't the impressive part. That was just a very rare set of fouls and a snooker right at the beginning of the game.

The impressive part was how O'Sullivan calmly walked up to the table and just set about systematically clearing it, with very little hesitation or pauses to decide what pot to make.

One could almost sense the internal monologue. 'Just another 145, then, in practical terms. I can do that in my sleep.'

The commentators and the other players, past a certain point when the reds had separated, clearly viewed it as inevitable that O'Sullivan would get there.

It hasn't made the dedicated #Wikipedia article for O'Sullivan's breaks yet.
