, O'Sullivan shared a picture of his academy, accompanied with the caption: "Amazing to have opened my own snooker academy here in Riyadh. Massive thank you to @Turki_alalshikh and @Sela for making it happen!But people on social media have taken exception to the academy being built in Saudi Arabia as they hit out at the decision to open it up in the Middle East opposed to the UK.
'The Rocket' has played a series of tournaments in the Kingdom as he branded the inaugural Saudi Arabia Masters the 'best event on tour'."I’ve never seen so many happy snooker players, everyone is excited to be here, we want to compete, play well and put on a really good show for the Saudi Arabian fans."All the top players are about to enter the event and hopefully everyone’s going to watch some of the best snooker they could possibly see.
