SNOOKER: Dott to miss Moscow event
Scot Graeme Dott has withdrawn from this weekend's leg of the World Series of Snooker in Moscow as his wife, Elaine, is due to give birth.
The Scot, the 2006 world champion, won the Berlin stage of the new competition in July and was due to face local favourite Sergey Vasilev.
Dott said: "I'm disappointed not to be going to Moscow, but at the same time excited I'm going to be a dad again."
