Defending champion Ronnie O’Sullivan has withdrawn from the Masters on medical grounds.
O’Sullivan, 49, was aiming to win a record-extending ninth title, and had been set to face John Higgins in a blockbuster opening to the event at Alexandra Palace on Sunday.
The Englishman’s place within the invitational occasion for the 16 highest-ranked gamers on the planet will likely be taken by Neil Robertson.
Like Higgins, the Australian can be a two-time winner of the Masters and most just lately triumphed in 2022.
