  • Seven-time world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan followed Judd Trump and Mark Williams in withdrawing from the Scottish Open at the last minute, but is expected to play in Saudi Arabia

Ronnie O'Sullivan has withdrawn from the Scottish Open, a decision influenced by his ongoing battle with tennis elbow, which has been affecting his performance on the snooker table. The seven-time world champion has been struggling with the condition for some time, and it has led him to pull out of several tournaments this season. His withdrawal from the event in Edinburgh was confirmed by World Snooker Tour, who expressed their disappointment but also their understanding given his health issues. O'Sullivan's absence from the Scottish Open, where he was the defending champion, adds to the list of tournaments he has missed due to his injury, including the Champion of Champions and the Northern Ireland Open. This move has sparked discussions about his future in the sport and how he manages his health to continue competing at the highest level.
