Ding Junhui's ranking continued to fall, Zhao Xintong's Yan Bingtao rose, and Robertson crushed the stars to cost the king of the 5 tigers of the season.
The 2022 World Snooker Tournament, which only invites the top 16 players in the single season to participate, is coming to an end, and the final opponents are Neil Robertson and Hawkins, who have just finished at the Masters championship and runner-up level. The former is currently ranked 4th in the world and Hawkins 11th.
Former Chinese brother Ding Junhui has been directly beaten back to the original form of a "third-rate golfer" since he withheld a huge prize point of 200,000 pounds at the 2019 British Championship last year, and the ranking has directly fallen out of the top 25. To make matters worse, Ding Junhui, spurred on by the multi-point blossoming of China's Twin Stars and the humiliation of a new career low in the world rankings, has not achieved decent results this season, and his world ranking has fallen again and again. That's what worries us most about him—the heart is dead, and nothing can be done.
Because the players' tournament is nearing its end, the latest ranking situation has been basically determined. Jimmy Robertson, who reached the semi-finals, scored £30,000 and will squeeze Ding Junhui to 30th place with £127,000, while Ding Junhui dropped one place to 31st with 109,000. At this point, it officially fell into 30 miles away, which is where the so-called second-rate players are located. The implication is that Ding Junhui will officially become a "second-rate player" after the player game.
In addition to the Chinese twin stars, the Chinese players in front of Ding Junhui are Zhou Yuelong, Lu Ning and Xiao Guodong. Yan Bingtao, who won the Masters last year, is 13th with 278,500 pounds, and Zhao Xintong, who has won the historic British Championship and Germany doubles this season, rose to 8th in the world with 382,500 pounds, officially entering the top ranks.
Selby, who has suffered from depression this season, is temporarily no. 1 with 1.0465 million, followed by 46-year-old veteran O'Sullivan with £971,500, and Trump, who has not yet made it to any of the top 8 in the rankings this season, is in third place with £924,000. Murphy, one of the Five Tigers, went stealth again after reaching the final of the World Championships last year, temporarily finishing seventh with £391,000.
In the period when the Five Tigers were in a collective slump and did nothing, only Neil Robertson was fighting, and this season he has experienced new marriages, suffered from tinnitus, infection with the new crown and other tribulations, but this still does not affect his ability to reach the finals of major competitions four times and win 3 championships under the condition of extremely low participation rates (the champions of this players' championship can be booked in advance). He carried the banner of the five tigers after the 80s and became the new king of the five tigers this season.
