Beijing time on June 16, 2020, Fu Jiajun announced that he would abandon the Snooker World Championship held in July due to the aggravation of eye diseases and the lack of optimism in the control of the epidemic in the United Kingdom.
At the end of 2017, Fu Jiajun suffered from floaters in his left eye, underwent laser surgery and took a three-month off date, for which Fu Jiajun's performance was seriously affected, and the year-end ranking of the 2017/2018 season fell to 15th in the world. Although the operation went smoothly, floaters have always existed, reaching more than 200 black spots in severe cases, and Fu Jiajun insisted on competing entirely on his own will.
Although he insisted on participating, Fu Jiajun's status did not rise smoothly, and the ranking gradually declined, and now the world ranking has fallen to 50th.
About a month ago, in order to exercise physical strength, Fu Jiajun jumped rope at home for 10 minutes a day. After about a week of exercise, Fu Jiajun found that the eye problem was again, originally only the left eye had floaters, and now the right eye also had problems.
Affected by eye disease, Fu Jiajun's recent practice state is not good, coupled with the epidemic in the United Kingdom is still very serious, Fu Jiajun has no choice but to give up the World Championship that starts next month.
Fu Jiajun's current condition does not require surgery, and can only rely on time to cure eye diseases. I also wish Fu Jiajun a speedy recovery and look forward to Marco Fu, a gentleman on the field.
The World Championships, which were scheduled to start in April this year, were postponed to July 31 to August 16 due to the impact of the epidemic, and the qualifying rounds will start on July 18. According to the local epidemic prevention policy in the United Kingdom, the entry personnel need to be quarantined for 14 days, and if they want to participate smoothly, non-British qualifiers will start planning to return to the UK around the beginning of July.
According to the current situation in the United Kingdom, there may be players who choose to withdraw from the game in the future.
