Seven-time world champion Ronnie O’Sullivan announced his decision to pull out of the German Masters in a statement that was made public on X. He cited his wish to prioritize his health and well-being. O’Sullivan has already won the Masters before, Wo

I regretfully have to inform my German supporters that I will not be competing in the German Masters next week,” O’Sullivan said in a statement posted on X.

“I adore the occasion and the German supporters, but my health and happiness must come first.

“Despite what the tournament victories may suggest, I’ve had a demanding and demanding season thus far. I hope you can relate. I apologize for being unable to attend, and I hope to see you all soon.”

O’Sullivan, who has been granted special permission by World Snooker to wear trainers because of a foot issue, started the China Open qualifications off halfway through the fourth frame with Burden leading by 61.

Burden leveled the match at three sets to one, but the seven-time world champion chose to take his time getting into the fifth set while he adjusted his shoes. The victory was eventually secured 5-3 with breaks of 83 and 58.

O’Sullivan decided not to play in the German Masters after declaring he wanted a vacation from snooker after defeating Zhou Yuelong in the second round of the Grand Prix in Leicester.

“I need to consider whether I can go on, with how I’m feeling,” O’Sullivan stated to the event presenter on ITV4.

“It’s challenging, to be honest, and the worst thing is that you’re winning contests. Choosing would be easy if I was excited before every game while competing.

  • like that, making the selection would be simple, but to be completely honest, I’m not enjoying it.”At the very least, I need a break, but nothing has changed in 25 or 30 years—it’s the same situation. It’s difficult not to do this years ago because it’s my job, but it’s all I’ve ever known.”
