Ronnie O'Sullivan coasted past Eden Sharav 4-1 to book his place in the English Open quarter-finals.
The five-time world champion extended his good form on Thursday with back-to-back victories at the K2 Leisure Centre, the Crawley venue he had dubbed a "hellhole" earlier in the week.

O'Sullivan started the week and the English Open by complaining that he could smell urine in the player interview area at the Crawley venue, criticising organisers for not separating the tournament from other leisure centre activities.
Since then the 42-year-old has fired his 15th tournament 147 to see off Allan Taylor 4-0 - and wasted little time on Thursday in securing two quickfire victories.
"I kind of enjoyed it; it wasn't the best but Eden didn't play great either," O'Sullivan told Eurosport. "I just had to do what I could do, keep trying until the end."
Despite his apparent serene progress, O'Sullivan insisted he continues to battle for top form.
When it was suggested no one has yet offered him a stern test, O'Sullivan replied: "Thank God for that! I'd have probably have been home by now if they had.
"It can be hard for me, as I'm limited to what tournaments I'm playing now.
"So I have to try to make every tournament count otherwise my season could be a complete disaster."
