O'Sullivan qualifies for his first ranking event venue, the Indian Open

Sean "The Storm" O'Sullivan has qualified for his first major ranking event venue as a professional, beating practice partner Martin Gould 4-3 to reach the televised stages of the Indian Open in Dehli next October.

There's a storm coming to India!

After failing to qualify for the Shanghai Masters just a few days earlier, Sean "The Storm" O'Sullivan bounced back straight away, putting in a heroic performance to beat practice partner Martin Gould 4-3 at the Doncaster Dome to qualify for the Indian Open in Dehli, his first ranking event venue.

O'Sullivan lost the first before taking the second frame with a run of 69 and also edging the fourth to level at 2-2. He then made further runs of 32, 12 and 18 in the sixth frame to force the decider after Gould took the previous with a 62.

East London's O'Sullivan broke down on 19, but Gould could not capitalize on his opponent's mistake, only making 8 before O'Sullivan stormed to victory with two further contributions of 36 and 17 to win 4-3.
