Will Ronnie O’Sullivan return to compete in the German Masters 2025?
Ronnie O’Sullivan withdrew from the Masters earlier this month with the World Snooker Tour releasing a statement citing his withdrawal was on “medical grounds.”
O’Sullivan told Eurosport: “It was a nightmare decision really to make.
“If you had asked me on Sunday if I was ready to play, I’d probably have been OK. It is such a massive tournament.”
The Rocket has endured some rough form in early 2025, with three consecutive defeats in the non-ranking Championship League in Leicester.
And the seven-time world champion will not feature at the German Masters after pulling out on medical grounds once again.
