On January 24, 2022, Beijing time, the snooker single limited time game was completed, and the new world ranking was released. St. HSP champion Hussein Wafi soared 19 spots, from 42nd to 23rd, which caused Ding Junhui to drop another place to 30th. The impact of the single limited time competition is small, and there is no change in the top nine in the world, Zhao Xintong is still ranked 9th, and Yan Bingtao is ranked 15th.
A single limited time game is a very entertaining game, because each game is only played one round, and the time limit is limited, and there will be a lot of games where the weak win the strong. In addition, the top masters do not pay much attention to single-time limited time, O'Sullivan, Trump, Higgins, Neil Robertson and other collective absences, which is also the case in the past few sessions, so the top 16 players in the world ranking have not yet won the single limited time championship.
The last laugh of this tournament was Hussein Wafi, the Iranian player who defeated Mark Williams in the final and received a championship prize of 50,000 pounds and a single highest score of 5,000 pounds, becoming the biggest winner of this competition. The title sent Hussein Wafi soaring in the world rankings, ranking 42nd before entering the race and 23rd after the race, soaring 19 places.
Nothing has changed in the top nine in the world, followed by Mark Selby, Judd Trump, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Neil Robertson, Karen Wilson, John Higgins, Sean Murphy, Mark Williams, and Zhao Xintong. Stephen Maguire moved up one place to tenth, followed by Barry Hawkins, Mark Allen, Stuart Bingham, Anthony McGill, Yan Bingtao and Luka Brechel.
Zhao Xintong is the highest-ranked Chinese player, he and Yan Bingtao are still among the seeded players, and will participate in the German Masters together, and if they can achieve good results in the German Masters, the two have the hope of improving their rankings. Yan Bingtao has to step up his efforts, because Luka Brecher and Lisovsky behind him are catching up with the momentum fiercely, and Yan Bingtao's lead is very small, and he may be overtaken by the opponent at any time.
Because Hussein Wafi soared, Ding Junhui's ranking dropped again by one place to 30th. Ding Junhui originally signed up for the single limited time competition, but he had a fever before the competition and regretted withdrawing from the competition, but fortunately there was no major problem. Zhou Yuelong, who has not had a good performance this season, continued to decline to 19th place, and he is getting farther and farther away from the top 16. Overall, there are only three Chinese players in the top 20, and our players have to work harder!
