On December 13, Beijing time, after the end of the Scottish Open, the world ranking changed again, and Ding Junhui fell 1 place again to 29th! Scotland's new king, Luka Brechel, overtook Yan Bingtao and ranked in the top 16. Among the Chinese players, Zhao Xintong ranked the highest, reaching the 9th place in the world!
In the first ten aspects, there was only one change, Murphy was out early, Higgins got the runner-up, so Higgins rose to 6th in the world and Murphy dropped to 7th in the world. China's Zhao Xintong ranked 9th, because in the previous British Championships, Zhao Xintong won the second place!
Belgian star Brechel has just won the crown in Scotland, and in the final, he beat Higgins 9-5 to win the championship! Luka Brechel's ranking also soared, reaching 15th and ranking among the TOP16, surpassing Yan Bingtao in one fell swoop.
Chinese fans pay the most attention to Ding Junhui, because of the continuous sluggish performance, the 34-year-old Ding Junhui's ranking continues to decline, from 28th to 29th! At the Scottish Open, Ding Junhui was the first round of the tour.
Currently, the top 10 in the world are Selby, Trump, O'Sullivan, Neil Robertson, Karen Wilson, Higgins, Murphy, Mark Williams, Zhao Xintong, Barry Hawkins.
Chinese players are ranked by Zhao Xintong (9th in the world), Yan Bingtao (16th in the world), Zhou Yuelong (18th in the world) and Ding Junhui (29th in the world).
Today, Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao have become the hope of China's snooker, both young, one has won the British Championship and the other has won the Masters championship. As for Ding Junhui, although he was once incomparably brilliant and was once the no. 1 in the world, it is an indisputable fact that his state is declining now. And because the world ranking has fallen sharply, Ding Junhui will not have the opportunity to participate in many competitions. In the future, Ding Junhui wants to return to the peak, even if it is to return to the TOP16, which is very difficult.
Next, in the 2021 Snooker Grand Prix, both will play, at 1 a.m. Beijing time on December 14, Zhao Xintong against Martin Gould, Yan Bingtao against Mark Jin.
