Seven-time world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan added a first World Seniors Snooker Championship title to his trophy haul with a convincing 10-4 victory over Joe Perry.

O'Sullivan never looked back after breaks of 110, 131 and 113 saw him go 3-1 up at the mid-session interval before an 81 put him three frames ahead at the Crucible.

Perry won the next two frames but missed the chance to level things up after fluffing two simple pots as O'Sullivan took a 5-3 lead into the evening session.

The deficit was reduced on the resumption with the aid of a 51 break but it was the last frame Perry would win as O'Sullivan closed out victory in clinical style, which included a 129-clearance before his fifth century of the match provided a fitting end.
