With the end of the German Masters qualifying schedule, the snooker world ranking has once again come to another node, changing again after the Scottish Open! The latest ranking deducts the prize money of the 2021-2022 World Grand Prix and other competitions, due to Neil Robertson's brilliant performance of winning 3 ranking tournaments in the 2021-2022 season, resulting in a lot of pressure to keep the ranking, and it is a fact that this season's sluggish performance has led to repeated declines in the rankings! Hawkins has repeatedly reached the finals in the 2021-2022 season, and the deduction of points is relatively large, and the two sides have dropped 7 and 3 places respectively, Neil Robertson is ranked 14th in the world, and Hawkins has fallen out of the top 16 and is ranked 18th!
1. Changes in the top 16 rankings
Due to Neil Robertson's deduction of the 2021-2022 season English Open and World Grand Prix runner-up points, the ranking slipped from 7th in the world to 14th in the world, and Kyren Wilson, who ranked 9th, was surpassed by Ding Junhui due to the deduction of 17,000 points from the node, so that due to the decline of Neil Robertson and Kyren Wilson, Ding Junhui returned to the 9th place in the world after 4 years! In addition, Hawkins also deducted 45,500 points, resulting in a direct slide from 15th to 18th, so that Lisowski and Tom Ford both moved up one place to 15th and 16th, respectively.
2. Players with high ranking pressure: Neil Robertson, Higgins and Rocket O'Sullivan
Neil Robertson 2021-2022 is the peak of his career, winning three ranking tournaments and one Masters title, is the best performer, due to the sluggish performance this season, the pressure to keep points, and will soon have to deduct the 2021 Tour Championship championship points, if it continues to be so sluggish, the ranking will drop to outside the 30th, and then will lose the qualification for many competitions! Higgins is the champion of the 2021-2022 Snooker Players Championship, and it is coming soon, if there is no better performance, the ranking will slide out of the top 16 after deducting the championship points! Rocket O'Sullivan is the 2022 World Championship champion, and if he can't win the World Championship next year, the ranking will also drop to at least 5th place.
Compared with the above players with greater pressure, Ding Junhui's pressure is significantly less, due to the sluggish performance in the 2021-2022 season, there are fewer points deducted, as long as this season continues to maintain this state, the ranking will remain within the tenth, but we believe that Ding Junhui should hope more to break the championship drought as soon as possible, and even to impact next year's World Championships!
