On October 3, Beijing time, with the end of the 2022-23 season snooker UK match, the Taiwan Federation of International Studies also announced the latest world rankings.
For the Chinese Legion, the ranking of Ding Junhui, who was eliminated in the second round, has continued to decline, and has fallen from 34th to 36th. Among all Chinese players, they are only the sixth highest player. For the former snooker number one, it is indeed a pity that it has declined so seriously before the age of 40. With Ding Junhui's recent competitive state, it is unlikely that he will return to the top ten in the world. Currently, the highest ranking is still the seventh-ranked star in the world. The prize amount of the champion of the British Championship will be retained in the ranking for two years, so it is not a problem for Zhao Xintong to stay in the top ten in the 2023 British Championship.
However, Zhao Xintong's recent state is also worrying. In the first round of games and the second round of games, he is really sorry for his previous old capital. He still has to find a way to adjust his state. Another young player, Yan Bingtao , is currently in a relatively "dangerous" situation, ranking 15th. This ranking means that he may fall out of the top 16 seed players in snooker at any time. Then most of the subsequent sub-stations need to play qualifying matches, which is not good news. The other Chinese players in the top 40 also include Zhou Yuelong , Luning , 23rd and 30th respectively, and Xiao Guodong , 35th.
Among foreign players, seventh World Championship champion O'Sullivan ranked first, Trump followed closely behind, Robertson surpassed Selby rose to third, selby and Higgins ranked fourth and fifth. Karen Wilson , Zhao Xintong, Mark Williams, Hawkins ranked sixth to ninth. Mark Allen rose to tenth after finishing second in the British Open, Brechel ranked 11th, and Lisovsky ranked 12th. Murphy fell to 13th, Bingham ranked 14th, Ryan Dai , who won the championship in this British match, won 100,000 pounds, and its world ranking also jumped to 16th, chasing Yan Bingtao closely.
Snooker's next event will be the Hong Kong tournament held in Hong Kong, my country. This event is a competition specially added to the snooker official in order to prepare for the return of the snooker event to China. This event sincerely invites the current top five in the world, O'Sullivan, Trump, Robertson, Selby and Higgins, and Zhao Xintong will also appear, while Hong Kong local players in my country, Fu Jiajun and female golfer Wu Anyi will appear at home. This rare snooker event that is friendly to Chinese fans' viewing time is believed to have attracted the attention of domestic fans.
