With the age profile of top players always rising, I think we will see a grandfather win a World Championship very soon. Are there any players on tour, let alone 'top' players, who are grandfathers or set to become grandfathers? I certainly haven't read any reports to suggest there are.
That said, I've a sneaky feeling we'll see it happen in the next five years. It would be a very nice moment to see a grandfather celebrating his relationship with his grandchild on the biggest stage of all.

All I know is Ronnie's estranged child is calling out Ronnie. Like bucking Coronation Street.

I didn't know! I was properly researching the topic and I was shocked! I though you were just making a "the-tour-is-old" joke

How lovely it will be for O'Sullivan to celebrate in the company of a grandchild that I've no doubt he'll enjoy a wonderful relationship with.
