Snooker legend says ‘you’ve got to worry’ for Ronnie O’Sullivan after Masters withdrawal Former world champion Dennis Taylor says ‘you’ve got to worry for Ronnie O’Sullivan’ after his shock withdrawal from the Masters just two days before the event begins.
World Snooker Tour announced that the withdrawal was on ‘medical grounds’ and there are concerns over O’Sullivan’s mental state after he pulled out of the Championship League before completing his group on Thursday.
Taylor is worried for O’Sullivan and hopes that he will link-up with Steve Peters again, with the renowned psychiatrist having worked wonders with the Rocket in the past.
‘What a shame because that was some match to kick the whole thing off,’ Taylor told Metro of O’Sullivan’s withdrawal.
The Rocket was set to defend the title he won last year at Alexandra Palace, beginning with an eye-catching opening round game with John Higgins on Sunday afternoon.
