O’Sullivan was on the track of victory when he made his first century of the season to lead 4-3 in the best-of-nine-frames match.

But the 18-year-old Irishman Hill levelled and then won by clinching the decider with a break of 78.

Ranked the world No 115, Hill is in his first season as a professional.

Earlier in August, O’Sullivan had criticised the standard of younger players on his way to winning the World Snooker Championship.
