In addition to Zhao Xintong, China will have four players in the top 16 next season, this data proves that Chinese snooker has really grown up, that is, Ding Junhui, Zhang Anda, Xiao Guodong and Si Jiahui, China's current highest is Ding Junhui ranked sixth in the world, Ding Junhui fell home again in this World Championships, and lost again in the World Championships, Ding Junhui is still a little disappointed at present, the strength has declined too fast, the accuracy is not good, not to mention, even the defense has regressed, This also makes it even more difficult for him to win the World Championship in the future!
The other person's ranking plummeted directly, that is, the 2023 World Championship champion Brecel, Brechel has been squandered since he won the World Championships, and there has been no championship for two consecutive years, and now he has squandered it, and he only reached the quarterfinals in this World Championships, so after his world ranking was deducted 500,000 pounds, he plummeted directly to 39th, which is a very large decline in the player, and it is unknown when Brecel will be able to return to the top 16 in the future!
