Ronnie O’Sullivan bought an air fryer to help him win World Grand Prix

Ronnie O'Sullivan expressed gratitude to his new air fryer following his comeback victory over Judd Trump in the World Grand Prix final.

'The Rocket' was 4-0 down to his opponent at one stage prior to executing an impressive comeback.

O'Sullivan won six straight frames on his way to an impressive 10-7 overall victory on Sunday.

The 48-year-old now has his hands on a second title this year after previously defeating Ali Carter to earn a record-extending eighth Masters triumph.

Following his World Grand Prix final win, the snooker ace has lauded one piece of equipment that played an important role following wins over Gary Wilson and Ding Junhui.

"I enjoyed that, I really did, I enjoyed the game," he told ITV Sport.

"Start of the week I was feeling a bit rough, then I bought myself an air fryer and a smoothie maker. I started to feel a bit better and...I don't like eating junk food, it sort of puts me in a funny place.

"So I started to feel better as the week went on, I played some of my best snooker last night against Ding.

"That gave me some confidence coming into today, I knew I'd have to play well to at least do something well against Judd. I enjoyed the match. I thought it might be a 10-1 job."

O'Sullivan, who won £100,000 for a victory that gave him the 41st ranking title, added: "Judd blasted off the table to go 4-0, and I thought this could be an early night.

"I managed to nick a few frames this afternoon and 5-3 gave me a bit of optimism.

"You have to battle against Judd because he is a warrior. For me, he is the favourite for the World Championship this year - he is strong."
