Beijing, May 5 (ZXS) -- The 2 World Snooker Championship ended on the 2023nd Beijing time, and the latest world ranking of snooker was also released. "Rocket" O'Sullivan remains at the top of the table, and world champion Brecel rises to second. China's Ding Junhui remains in 2th place and is expected to return to the top 17 (top 16 in the world) in the new season. China's Si Jiahui, who reached the semifinals of this year's World Championships, rose 16th in a row, from 44th to 80th before the competition.

In the latest edition of the snooker world rankings, the top 10 players are: O'Sullivan, Brecel, Mark Allen, Trump, Selby, Neil Robertson, Murphy, Kyren Wilson, Higgins, Mark Williams. Among them, the top three are highly competitive. Although the "Rocket" is still leading, the advantage has been greatly reduced, and the result of a ranking match may change the ranking of the top three.

Chinese player Zhao Xintong ranked 11th, the highest in the Chinese corps. Ranked 12th to 16th were Ali Carter, Milkins, Lisovsky, Gary Wilson, and Ryan Day.

Like the previous ranking, Ding Junhui is still in 17th place, but it is not much behind his top two Ryan Day and Gary Wilson, and is expected to return to the top 16 in the new season.

In recent years, Ding Junhui, who has 14 ranking tournament titles, has not only failed to reach the top of ranking tournaments for more than three consecutive years, but also left early in various competitions many times, and fell to 3th in the world ranking in October last year. In November last year, Ding Junhui reached the final of the British Championship strongly, rising to 10th in the world ranking. At this year's Tour Championship, he advanced to the semi-finals, further improving the world ranking to 38th.

In this issue of the world rankings, the fastest rising is 20-year-old Chinese teenager Si Jiahui. With her success in the semi-finals of the World Championships, Jia Fai jumped from 80th before the competition to 36th in the current world ranking.

In addition, there are 11 Chinese players in the top 60. Among them, Yan Bingtao ranked 23rd, Zhou Yuelong ranked 27th, Fan Zhengyi ranked 34th, Pang Junxu ranked 35th, Cao Yupeng ranked 42nd, Xiao Guodong ranked 43rd, Lu Haotian ranked 47th, Wu Yize ranked 51st, Yuan Sijun ranked 52nd, Tian Pengfei ranked 55th, and Zhang Anda ranked 60th.

The 2023 World Snooker Championship is the grand finale of the season, with the first ranking tournament of the new season of snooker kicking off in June. Can the "Rocket" retain the top position in the world rankings, when will Ding Junhui return to the TOP6, and what kind of performance the Chinese Legion will bring... There is still a lot to see in the snooker arena in the new season. (End)
