Monday, 11 March 2019 16:00

Ronnie O’Sullivan has become the first player to reach the landmark of 1,000 career centuries.

The rocket made the mark in style, in the process wrapping up the match to win the Players Championship in Preston.

O'Sullivan has played 1,257 matches and averages 0.79 centuries per match - the best average of anyone who has played more than one match.

China's Ding Junhui has the second best average at 0.64 centuries per match, followed by Neil Robertson with 0.63. The Australian former world champion, beaten by O'Sullivan in Sunday's final, is the only player to make 100 centuries in a single season - 103 in 2013-14.
