With Ding Junhui's defeat to Trump in the final of the Yushan World Open, Ding Junhui reached the finals twice this season and lost to the world's No. 1 O'Sullivan and the world's No. 2 Trump, continuing his championship drought! There are still two last ranking tournaments left this season, Ding Junhui still has a chance to break the championship drought this season, and the next Snooker Tour Championship will be held in Manchester, England from April 1st to 7th! Ding Junhui ranks 4th in a single season, Zhang Anda ranks 3rd in a single season, and the two will go straight to the top 8! According to the current world rankings, after the end of the Tour Championship, Gary Wilson will surpass his embarrassed brother Kyren Wilson in the world rankings, and Ding Junhui will definitely surpass Murphy to rank in the top 9 in the world.
This year's snooker tour championship has been reformed for the first time, from the previous single-season top 8 to qualify for the top 12 in a single season, an increase of 4 places, and the total prize money has also increased by 120,000 pounds, from the previous 380,000 pounds to 500,000 pounds, although the detailed prize distribution has not been announced so far, but according to the previous prize distribution, it is not difficult to deduce the detailed distribution of the prize money of this snooker tour as follows: 170,000 pounds for the champion, 70,000 pounds for the runner-up, 45,000 pounds for the top 4, 25,000 pounds for the top 8, 15,000 pounds for the top 12, and 10,000 pounds for the highest prize in a single strokeIn other words, as long as you qualify, you will have a prize of 15,000 pounds, which is worthy of the big red envelope ranking competition, and the prize money is really high!
Ding Junhui is currently ranked 7th in the world with a total prize fund of 456,500 pounds, and Shaun Murphy is currently ranked 6th in the world with a total prize fund of 468,000 pounds. Due to Shaun Murphy's poor performance this season and not entering the top 12 of a single season, he lost his qualification for the Tour Championship, so that the prize money will not change after the Tour Championship ends! Ding Junhui has already locked in the prize money of at least 15,000 pounds, so his total prize money will reach at least 471,500 pounds after the Tour Championship is over, and it is determined that he will surpass Murphy! Mark Williams, who is ranked 8th behind Ding Junhui, will be overtaken by Carter after deducting points, and the two of them can only surpass Ding Junhui if they reach the finals in this tour, and the players ranked 10th in the world and after that will have a chance to surpass Ding Junhui only if they win the championship, so Ding Junhui's world ranking will be firmly in the top 9 in the world after the tour! I hope that Ding Junhui can play well in the Tour Championship, achieve ideal results, and further improve his world ranking!
In addition, the current 12th-ranked Kyren Wilson and 13th-ranked Gary Wilson both have a total prize fund of 381,500 pounds, because Kyren Wilson did not qualify for the Tour Championship, and Gary Wilson will receive at least £15,000 in prize money if he qualifies, so after the end of the tour, Gary Wilson will definitely overtake Kyren Wilson, and the embarrassing brother will continue to slide down the rankings!
