Ronnie O'Sullivan has been dumped out of the World Snooker Championship after a 13-10 quarter-final defeat to Stuart Bingham.

Ronnie O'Sullivan is not interested in the noise around what a possible rival could mean for the World Snooker Tour, but jokingly would love to get a phone call offering hundreds of millions of pounds.

The 2024 Cazoo World Championship at the Crucible has provided several upsets in its first week with many of snooker's top stars jettisoned in the first round – defending champion Luca Brecel, Mark Selby, Gary Wilson and Ding Junhui have all departed.

Ronnie O'Sullivan has not ruled out a switch to a rival snooker tour and has also threatened to leave the sport if he felt he was being under-valued.

For the first time in 20 years, former champion Neil Robertson will not be at the Crucible for the World Championship after losing in the final round of qualifying.
