Seven-time Masters champion Ronnie O’Sullivan has criticised tournament venue Alexandra Palace, saying it is “disgusting” and makes him “feel ill”.<\/b><\/p>\n

O’Sullivan, 48, added that the iconic north London venue is “dirty” and that he “can’t wait to get out of here”.<\/p>\n

The world number one made the comments after beating Barry Hawkins 6-3<\/a> on Thursday to reach the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

The World Snooker Tour (WST) said “other players have spoken with unanimous positivity” about the venue.<\/p>\n

O’Sullivan, who has also finished Masters runner-up six times, said: “I just don’t like this place. I find it disgusting.<\/p>\n

“Everywhere is dirty. It’s cold. It’s freezing, I have to wear my coat everywhere. You go through car parks. There are bins. Honestly, it just makes me feel ill. <\/p>\n

“I’m a bit of a clean freak and when I come in here it gives me the heebie-jeebies. I just can’t wait to get out of here.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
