'Run Down' O'sullivan Out of Bahrain Tournament
Ronnie O'Sullivan has withdrawn from the Bahrain tournament, following the withdrawal of three other leading players
Ronnie O'Sullivan has withdrawn from the new ranking tournament in Bahrain, starting on Saturday. The world champion claims that he has been feeling "very run down recently". His withdrawal follows that of three other leading players, John Higgins, Mark Selby and Ding Junhui, who were already contracted to Premier League matches at Haywards Heath on November 13.
Steve Davis, who is attempting to regain his top-16 ranking, survived last week's qualifying competition and was due to play O'Sullivan in Bahrain. Now Davis will play either Marco Fu or a qualifier next Tuesday. Last night Davis, who has an ear infection, was also a doubtful starter.
