Ali Carter explained why he no longer considers Ronnie O'Sullivan a friend.

Complex relationships between snooker players

ALI CARTER acknowledged that he no longer considers Ronnie O'Sullivan his friend, although they reconciled last year. Ronnie, always loving with words, seemed to close the conflict by calling his former practice partner 'a good guy' after his victory over him in April. However, Carter is uneasy with their closeness.

'This is not what I used to consider true friendship,' Carter noted.

The situation between the snooker players indicates that relationships in sports can be complicated and changeable. Despite public displays of friendship, personal experiences and emotions can play a crucial role in the relationships between athletes. The further development of this story may impact their game and relationships at the professional level.
