It has just been announced by WST:

O’Sullivan Withdraws From BetVictor Welsh Open

Ronnie O’Sullivan has pulled out of the BetVictor Welsh Open.

O’Sullivan was due to face Jamie Clarke at 1pm on Tuesday afternoon. Clarke will now receive a bye to the last 32.

The tournament in Llandudno runs until Sunday February 16th.

This time no reason was given. And I can’t help wondering when Ronnie actually informed them. The text above was published today, so why write “on Tuesday afternoon” rather than “today afternoon”? And Murphy had been speaking to the press yesterday and had already expressed doubts about his participation.

Anyway … 😥

  1. Or they will drop him. Of course that might change his thinking, but there will be little joy in a “my hands were forced to play” attitude.

  2. I think he will pull out of the World Open in Yushan China as well and I don’t think he will ever play again this season

      • The sponsors I’m aure are unhappy at the moment too. If he ‘wants’, he will skip the Chinese events (Hong Kong World Grand Prix, World Open) too. THen if he skips them the only remaining event is the World Championship…

      • I remain convinced that he will not skip the Chinese events and, if I’m proved wrong and he does skip them, I will be extremely worried about his mental health situation. Anyway, there is nothing we can do about it other than hoping for the situation to improve.

    • no way he will skip the World Championship. He has never done that in his career. I also expect him to play in the Chinese events. He only seems to skip the UK events.
