Ding pulls out of Masters
Print Edition
This week鈥檚 Shanghai Masters will lack a major star attraction after home favorite Ding Junhui pulled out of the event.
Ding announced through his Weibo account on Sunday evening that he had withdrawn from this year鈥檚 ranking event, without citing any reason. Reports, however, suggested that the current world No. 2 has been bothered by an eye ailment.
Ding suffered from viral conjunctivitis at the end of last month, which affected his performance at the 2017 Snooker International Championship in Daqing, northeastern Heilongjiang Province.
Ding is the only player to have won the Shanghai Masters twice in the tournament鈥檚 one-decade history. The defending champion was due to take on compatriot Mei Xiwen in the heldover on Monday evening. Mei automatically advances to the first round, where he will take on England鈥檚 Adam Duffy.
Meanwhile, Ronnie O鈥橲ullivan had to delay his arrival for the Shanghai tournament as 鈥淭he Rocket鈥 was in Coventry, England, for the 2017 Champion of Champions.
According to organizers, O鈥橲ullivan鈥檚 first-round match against fellow Englishman Gary Wilson, which was originally scheduled for this evening, had been rescheduled for tomorrow morning.
Yan Bingtao, meanwhile, went out in the first round yesterday, losing 1-5 to Mark Allen; Liang Wenbo, however, advanced by beating Rod Lawler 5-2.
