With Zhao Xintong winning the second ranking championship of his career, the 2022 Snooker German Masters has also completely come to an end, and according to the latest news released by Snooker, the world ranking of the players has also been officially released.
The first is the update of the world rankings, Mark Selby's half a million pounds of prize money points at the World Championships still make him the world number one, and to the surprise of fans, Judd Trump, who previously ranked second in the world, has slipped again.
Trump, who had won six championships in a single season and eleven crowns in two seasons, somehow suddenly muted this season, except for winning the championship in the invitational tournament, the best result in other ranking competitions was only the quarterfinals, which not only did not return to the world first, but also fell to the third place because of poor performance.
After deducting some of the bonus points, Trump's ranking slipped, and O'Sullivan officially surpassed Trump to rise to second place through the world grand prix championship prize money, and is expected to continue to ascend to the world number one position this season.
The rankings of the players from four to seven have not changed, and it is still Neil Robertson, Karen Wilson, John Higgins, Sean Murphy, while Zhao Xintong continues to soar all the way to the top eight of the world rankings.
After winning the British Championship, Zhao Xintong's ranking competition rose sharply to ninth place in the world, and after winning the German Masters, Zhao Xintong's ranking was improved again, successfully surpassing Mark Williams to rank eighth.
The other Chinese player in the top 16 is Yan Bingtao, although the German Masters was tragically kept a clean sheet by Zhao Xintong, but the runner-up result also made her rise from the previous fifteenth place in the world to the thirteenth place in the world.
In addition to Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong, there are four Chinese players among the top32 players, namely Zhou Yuelong, who is the nineteenth in the world, Ding Junhui who is thirty in the world, Xiao Guodong, who is thirty-one in the world, and Liang Wenbo, who is the thirty-two in the world, of which Ding Junhui is the first time in many years that he has fallen out of the world's top 16 position.
In the official single-season world ranking list, Zhao Xintong ranked first in the world with a huge lead, Followed by Luka Brechel in second place, O'Sullivan was slightly behind in the third place in the world in a single season, and Yan Bingtao was in ninth place.
Due to poor form this season, Trump and Selby failed to make it to the top ten of the single-season rankings, ranking fourteenth and eighteenth respectively, because Selby had officially missed the next players' tournament, and Trump would probably miss the Tour Championship if he did not adjust in time.
There has not been much change in other players, Ding Junhui's frequent absences in the season and a single season ranking of a round of travel have fallen to sixty-fourth place, if you can't find yourself as soon as possible, then not only can't get back to the top 16, I'm afraid the ranking situation will set a record worst in history.
