Ronnie O'Sullivan was "glad" his bid for an eighth Masters title was over after struggling with illness in his 6-1 quarter-final loss to Mark Allen. It was a bit of a tough match for me," O'Sullivan told the BBC. That was followed by breaks of 115, 85 and 81, which gave Allen a 4-1 lead. "I'm very, very happy, I scored really well," Allen told BBC 2. "I find against Ronnie I play more aggressive because you're going to get fewer chances."
