Chinese player Tian Pengfei recently withdrew from the German Snooker Masters Qualifying Tournament in the UK due to a positive test for the new crown virus. The World Snooker Tour (WST) also confirmed that he will not be able to participate in the Northern Ireland Open next week due to isolation.
The 2021 German Masters Qualifying Tournament will be held in Milton Keynes, England from the 10th. Tian Pengfei should have played his first round on the evening of the 11th. However, the 33-year-old player tested positive for the new crown virus after his arrival. WST subsequently issued a statement confirming Tian Pengfei's withdrawal and his opponent directly advanced to the second round. In addition, Tian Pengfei will not be able to participate in the Northern Ireland Open on the same venue from the 16th to the 22nd.
WST said that up to now, the test results of other players and referees who came to the competition were all negative. Many Chinese players including Ding Junhui also participated in this qualifying match. Ding Junhui, ranked 10th in the world, won the first match on the 10th.
WST's events will be suspended in mid-March and resumed in June under the premise of closed-door games. Tian Pengfei returned to China from the UK at the end of March, and at the beginning of July he went to the UK again with Ding Junhui and others.
