Hamilton out of worlds
Print Edition
Anthony Hamilton has withdrawn from the world championship due to his coronavirus concerns, World Snooker Tour Chairman Barry Hearn said yesterday. Hamilton was scheduled to play his first round match against Kyren Wilson today, but the 49-year-old, who suffers from asthma, has decided to pull out. The world championship, which starts today in Sheffield, is one of three events being used to test the return of spectators to British sport on a limited basis. A reduced capacity is being used at the Crucible Theatre, with spectators issued with a code of conduct and asked to adhere to strict rules, including wearing face masks “Anthony Hamilton withdrew yesterday having gone through the qualifying competition because he’s got asthma and he is worried about his health,” Hearn told Talksport. After beating Scott Donaldson in the final round of qualifying on Monday, Hamilton had criticized the move to allow a limited number of fans.
