On April 8, Beijing time, the 2024 Snooker Tour Championship ended with Mark Williams winning the championship 10-5, saying, "I didn't expect to win the championship at the age of 49 (another 17 days)!" O'Sullivan lost in the final for the first time this season, saying that "it's good to be able to win five games."
Uncle Ma made great progress in this station, and fought with Tom Forde in the first round to the only tiebreaker of this station, and played a single-stroke reversal under the 0-54 deficit, and advanced 10-9, saying that this is the best performance of his career! 10-5 Mark Allen, opening with a wave of nine consecutive whips! (Note: Real-time world rankings, Allen topped the world for the first time)
It is foreseeable that Allen's occupation of the world's No. 1 position will surpass Ding Junhui's 3 weeks, and there is no doubt that he will be among the "80 Six Tigers", it depends on who can take the lead in achieving the Grand Slam, after all, the other four are Grand Slam winners.
Ding Junhui missed a good game in this station, and there were two major mistakes in the 16th game, one was to lose the pink ball and was dragged to the fight for black to win, and the other was to fight for the black ball to stay in the bag and miss the first match point at 9-8, resulting in 8-8 suffering three consecutive whips out, missing the opportunity to advance with a 6-3 lead, and suffering a round of tours. Ding Junhui reached the finals twice this season and lost to O'Sullivan and Trump one after another, although the victory was a surprise, but it was not without a chance, especially against Xiaote at the China Open, but unfortunately he failed to break the championship drought of more than four years as he wished! This is the only one of the "75 Three Heroes" and "80 Five Tigers"! Why is this so? Why should it not be "Selbigized" at the critical moment? Allen is very happy about this.
No.4 seed Ding Junhui stopped in the quarterfinals, but only deducted 20,000 pounds of bonus points from the 2022 World Championships, and his ranking remained unchanged at No. 7. Of course, this does not mean that he is seeded in the World Championships, based on the current world rankings!

Luca, the new World Championship champion, Murphy, the defending champion, the former "first person of the post-90s" Brother Yu, and the "Old Man Mi", who is only one year younger than the "75 Sanjie", all missed this station. Luka's best result in the ranking tournament this season is the quarterfinals, but he has earned a lot of money in the invitational tournament, one championship and two runners-up, second only to O'Sullivan's three crowns, of which the Riyadh Masters runner-up prize of 125,000 pounds is more than many ranking tournament winners. Murphy won the first Champions League title of the season, and his best result since that was also the quarter-finals. Kyren Wilson and Milkins did not participate in one of the three "red packet games" this season.
Carter won the runner-up twice this season, 2-10 O'Sullivan in this station, and stopped in the quarterfinals. Selby lost to Uncle Ma in the final of the British Open, won the Champions League (Invitational), and Gary Wilson 8-10 in this station, once broke out the remarks of sealing the pole. Higgins has reached the semi-finals five times this season, 7-10 Allen, and the top 12, dropping four places to No. 17 in the world rankings. Allen won three crowns in the season and reached the top of the world for the first time, completing one of the "small goals" of his career.
