How O'Sullivan qualified
Ronnie O'Sullivansecured his place at the World Grand Prix following his run to the semi-finals of the English Open in Milton Keynes.
The six-times world champion lost 6-5 to John Higgins in an epic encounter, but his £20,000 consolation prize saw him move up from 26th to 11th on the sport's one-year ranking list, leaving him well inside the cut-off mark for the top 32 who qualify for the elite event.
