On August 28, 2023, the European Snooker Masters came to an end, Hawkins broke the championship drought of 6 years and 6 months, won Selby and Trump to the end, won the ranking tournament for the fourth time in his career, and the World Taiwan Federation announced the latest rankings.

Hawkins beat Trump 9-6 to win the title, won £80,000 in prize money, rose six places in the world rankings and is currently ranked 13th, this title is extremely important for him, not only to break the long-standing championship drought, but also to qualify for this year's championship, and as things stand, Hawkins has no problem participating in the Masters, and outside fans send blessings and congratulate him.

The top 16 players are O'Sullivan and Luca. Brecel, Mark. Allen, Trump, Selby, Robertson, Sean. Murphy, Karen. Wilson, Higgins, Mark. Williams, Carter, Milkins, Hawkins, Lisovsky, Ding Junhui, Ryan. Dai and Ding Junhui did not participate in the European Masters, and his world ranking remained unchanged, maintaining the status quo for the time being.

Although O'Sullivan is temporarily in first place, the lead is not obvious, Luka. Brecel and Mark. Allen has a chance, to hit the top position, O'Sullivan has been out of the Champions League and the European Masters in a row, the rest is mainly after the start of the new season, when to make his debut, so far it is still unknown, O'Sullivan is indeed more casual now, many times it all depends on personal mood.

In terms of Chinese players, Zhou Yuelong ranked 27th, Si Jiahui ranked 30th, Fan Zhengyi ranked 31st, Pang Junxu ranked 34th, Xiao Guodong ranked 37th, Lu Haotian, who reached the quarterfinals, rose to 39th, Cao Yupeng ranked 44th, Wu Yize ranked 48th, Yuan Sijun ranked 50th, Tian Pengfei ranked 52nd, Zhang Anda ranked 55th, Xu Si ranked 61st, Li Junwei ranked 81st, Peng Yisong ranked 83rd, and Liu Hongyu ranked 91st.

Long Zehuang is 99th, Jiang Jun is 104th, Ma Hailong and Xing Zihao are tied for 108th, Fu Jiajun is 124th, and Ding Junhui is the only Chinese player in the top 16, but he has not played this season, and the British Open first round against Luca. Brecel, the two sides have met in the past six times, Ding Junhui has won all of them, and whether he can complete a seven-game winning streak by then is undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention.

At the end of the two races in the new season, the best result of Chinese players is the quarterfinals, each time is 8 into 4 this level out, although the comprehensive strength of Ding Junhui did not participate, but as far as the current situation is concerned, most of the people are focused on participation, it is very difficult to win the championship, so the next ranking champion of Chinese snooker, I am afraid that I have to wait patiently for a long time, and there is little hope in the short term.
