Ronnie O\u2019Sullivan left viewers stunned by biting off his cue tip in frustration at the English Open.<\/p>\n
The snooker legend endured a disappointing performance against Zhang Anda on Thursday. The Chinese player won 4-2 to reach the quarter-finals in Brentwood.<\/p>\n
Having shared the first four frames, O\u2019Sullivan became visibly rattled by some movement in the crowd, after which his composure disappeared and he made some questionable shot choices. <\/p>\n

The 47-year-old was unable to take advantage of a fluke in the fifth frame, where his missed red went into the pack, sending another red into the middle pocket. He ended up losing the frame before calling out the spectators once more.<\/p>\n
The Rocket complained about fans moving during the frame to referee Ben Williams, claiming they looked like they were doing a \u201csponsored walk\u201d in the arena. After having missed a red, he returned to his chair, where he bizarrely began chewing on the tip of his cue.<\/p>\n

Eurosport commentators commented on the seven time world champion\u2019s reaction to the shock defeat. The camera then zoomed in on the tip, which was bitten off and left on the floor.<\/p>\n
Fans online reacted by saying: \u201cIs that normal behaviour?\u201d and: \u201cPure frustration.. he obviously wanted to progress further but just couldn't kick himself into gear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another joked: \u201cFair to say Ronnie O\u2019Sullivan has bitten off more cue tips than he can chew this week.\u201d<\/p>\n
