 Lee won the 2006 Welsh Open |
World number 10 Stephen Lee has withdrawn from the China Open in Beijing for personal reasons. Lee, from Trowbridge, will not travel to the world ranking event, which starts on Monday.
His withdrawal means that the winner of Monday's match between Jimmy White and Chinese wild card Zheng Peng will progress straight into the last 16.
The tournament is the last one before the World Championship, which starts in Sheffield on 21 April.
