With the official start of the 2022 Turkish Masters, the new season of the snooker New Year is officially on track, according to the latest news given by the World Taiwan Federation, the latest world rankings have also been released so far.
As we all know, the snooker ranking is divided into single-season ranking and world ranking, before the official single-season ranking Zhao Xintong ranked first in the world with a huge advantage, after the release of the latest world ranking, China's snooker legion can be described as both happy and worried.
At the top of the world list is still "Leicester Clown" Mark Selby, who won the world championship with a prize of 500,000 pounds last season, which allowed him to successfully reach the top of Trump, and now Selby continues to lead the way with a score of 1,046,500 points.
It is no longer Judd Trump who is ranked second in the world, but "Rocket" Ronnie O'Sullivan, who defeated Neil Robertson in the final in the recent World Grand Prix to break his season-long championship drought and surpass Trump to rise to second place in the world with the championship prize money.
Trump fell to the world's third is to surprise many fans, to know that the new season just began when Trump and Selby are still on par with frequent changes in the top position, but with the continuous deduction of bonus points, Trump's state has declined seriously, and the best result in the ranking tournament so far is only the top eight, which undoubtedly makes it lose to O'Sullivan in third place.
In other players, Neil Robertson is currently in fourth place in the world with 739,000 points with 739,000 points, while Karen Wilson is fifth in the world with 612,500, followed by John Higgins and Sean Murphy in sixth and seventh places.
Zhao Xintong, who ranked first in the world in a single season, has also improved rapidly, with the British Championship and the German Masters winning the championship, Zhao Xintong ranked eighth in the world with 382,500, which is the highest ranking of Zhao Xintong in history and the highest ranking of Chinese snooker players.
Although Yan Bingtao has no championship after winning the Masters, his stable play has not fallen behind, and the current 278,500 points ranks thirteenth in the world, and it is not much different from the previous Maguire, Hawkins, Allen and others, and is expected to surpass in an event.
Excluding Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong, Chinese players have never entered the top 16 of the snooker world rankings, Zhou Yuelong has slipped to 19th place due to his previous absence from many competitions, and Luka Brecher, who ranks sixteenth in the 156500 points distance, is not optimistic.
Of course, the most disappointing for domestic fans is China's snooker leader Ding Junhui, who has fallen to the 30th place in the world with 117,000 points, and the poor performance is not only the first time in many years to fall out of the top 16 but also I am afraid that I will not be able to get the top 32.
Xiao Guodong's 113,000 points and Lu Ning's 110,000 points ranked in the last two of the world's top thirty-two, and there is no doubt that if Ding Junhui still can't get back to his form, then it is only a matter of time before Xiao Guodong and Lu Ning overtake.
So far, only six of the top thirty-two players in the snooker world ranking have entered, and the other players have more or less problems that have not been able to enter the high ranking, and I hope that the Chinese snooker legion will continue to work hard and create more good results with practical actions.
