Ronnie O’Sullivan Pulls Out of Champion of Champions Snooker Event Due to Mental Exhaustion

Bracknell snooker fans were left disappointed as Ronnie O’Sullivan, the seven-time world champion, withdrew from the Champion of Champions event citing mental exhaustion. O’Sullivan, the defending champion, was set to begin his campaign in Bolton against Zhang Anda but announced his withdrawal to prioritize his mental health and well-being. ‘Mentally I feel a bit drained and stressed,’ O’Sullivan stated, expressing his regret to fans but emphasizing the need to look after himself. Ding Junhui will replace O’Sullivan in the tournament. Despite this setback, O’Sullivan is expected to make a return at the UK Championship in York later this month.
