Ronnie O’Sullivan has announced that he will not be taking part in the upcoming German Masters in order to look after his ‘health and wellbeing’. The Rocket has been very active over the last few months, winning the UK Championship, Masters and World Grand Prix in the space of just 50 days.
O’Sullivan was due to appear at the German Masters, which is set to get underway at the end of this month, in order to ramp up his preparations for the World Snooker Championship in May. However, the 48-year-old has revealed that he will be missing the event as he looks to recover from what has been a ‘tiring and challenging’ season thus far.
In a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter, he wrote: “Hi guys, I just want to let my fans in Germany know that sadly I’ve decided to withdraw from the German Masters next week.
“I love the event and my fans in Germany but I have to make my health and wellbeing the priority. It’s been a tiring and challenging season for me so far, despite how it may seem with the tournament wins, so hope you understand. I’m sorry I won’t be there and I hope to see you all soon.”
