On February 1, Beijing time, the final of the snooker German Masters officially ended. In a Chinese derby battle, the post-90s Zhao Xintong swept the post-00s Yan Bingtao with a devastating momentum and won the championship. At present, the ranking of the latest snooker period was officially produced. Selby continues to maintain first place, O'Sullivan surpassed Trump to second place, Trump dropped to third place, Zhao Xintong's ranking rose again to eighth place, Yan Bingtao also advanced to two places to 13th place!
Zhao Xintong performed well this season. Not only did he win the championship in the English Championship, but he also came to the German Masters. Zhao Xintong continued his hot state. Relying on his sharp accuracy, he defeated quasi-god Trump and other masters on the way to advance, and finally won the German Masters. This is also the second championship that Zhao Xintong won in two months. After receiving a prize of 80,000 pounds, Zhao Xintong surpassed Mark Williams in the ranking and reached eighth place, setting a career high. Next, Zhao Xintong will also participate in the Players Championship . If he performs well, the ranking is expected to surpass Higgins , and it is very likely to enter the top six!
Yan Bingtao performed well this season. Although he lost to Williams, who was in a hot first round of the Masters, he missed the defending champion, but he also reached the Northern Ireland Open and the semi-finals of the championship, ranking firmly in the top 16. When he came to the German Masters, he experienced many reversals and survived death and reached the finals with difficulty. Although he was swept by Zhao Xintong with an exaggerated 9-0 score in the final, he still received a prize of 35,000 pounds. Relying on this prize, he successfully consolidated his ranking in the top 16, and at the same time, he rose two places to reach the 13th position!
For other players, although Selby was eliminated early in the German Masters, he still received a prize of 2,000 pounds and continued to consolidate his position as the world's number one. Trump has no performance in the previous seasons, and his performance is just right. In addition, the German Masters were blocked by Zhao Xintong, who missed the title, lost 70,000 pounds in prize money, and was overtaken by O'Sullivan and retreated to third place. Ding Junhui failed to participate in the German Masters and was ranked 30th. If Ding Junhui's condition cannot improve in the future, it is very likely that the ranking will fall out of the top 32!
