Claim 3: “O'Sullivan to play China's He in Crucible round one”
DISPUTED
The claim incorrectly states O'Sullivan will face He Guoqiang. Web search results for the 2026 World Snooker Championship draw explicitly list Zhao Xintong (China,1) as O'Sullivan's first-round opponent, not He Guoqiang. Wikipedia confirms He Guoqiang is a professional player but provides no match pairing. The claim is directly contradicted by specific tournament draw details.
