The 2022 snooker event is also coming to an end unconsciously, with only three races left in the Gibraltar Open, the World Tour Championship and the World Championship, and the World Championship with a prize money of up to 500,000 pounds is undoubtedly the highlight of the fans' expectations.
This season's World Championships will officially kick off in April, and it is well known that only the world's top 16 players are eligible for direct access to Crucible, and the rest of the players must compete in the qualifying tournament to get tickets to the main tournament, and only one of the five most watched players of the Chinese Snooker Army has been confirmed so far.
1. Zhao Xintong
Zhao Xintong, who is only 24 years old, is undoubtedly one of the best performers of the Chinese snooker army this season, and the strong top of the British Championship and the German Masters has also directly raised his world ranking to seventh, and the single-season ranking is at the top of the world list.
This result even zhao Xintong's early exit in the Gibraltar tournament ensured that he qualified for Crucesburg as a seeded player, and Zhao Xintong, who has always been full of confidence, said that his goal is far more than this, and it has always been his dream to reach the world championship as a Chinese player.
2. Yan Bingtao
China's post-00s young player Yan Bingtao has officially fallen to the seventeenth place in the world because he has not played well this season, but because Stephen Maguire, who is ranked sixteenth, will deduct 150,000 pounds of points in the Tour Championship, Yan Bingtao has not yet lost the opportunity to pass through Crucible.
Since Yan Bingtao did not register for the Gibraltar Open, as long as Wharton and Wafi did not win the championship in Gibraltar, then the points would not surpass Yan Bingtao, considering that the many masters of this event waited until After Maguire's points were deducted (this season did not qualify for the Tour), Yan Bingtao's return to the top 16 was not a problem.
3. Zhou Yuelong
Zhou Yuelong, who participated in the world championship as a top 16 last season, has disappointed fans with his performance this season, not only failing to achieve excellent results, but also falling to 26th place, which also announces that Zhou Yuelong needs to fight from the qualification again.
4. Ding Junhui
"China's snooker brother" Ding Junhui is currently ranked 30th in the world, due to the gap in points is too large, even if Ding Junhui wins the Gibraltar Open championship, he cannot enter the top 16 to determine that he cannot pass through the main stage, which is also the second time that Ding Junhui has impacted Crucible as a qualifier for many years.
However, this may not be a bad thing for Ding Junhui, after the Turkish Masters, Ding Junhui publicly said that he was putting aside distractions and trying to find himself, perhaps Ding Junhui, who had lost his baggage and made a comeback, would bring surprises to everyone at this season's World Championships.
Fifth, Fan Zhengyi
Although the European Masters Fan Zhengyi defeated O'Sullivan to win his first title, the championship prize money only rose to the thirty-fifth place in the world due to the previous ranking, and he did not qualify for the Tour Championship, but for Fan Zhengyi, his career had just begun.
For China's snooker, no player has won the World Championship, and in recent seasons, the emergence of young players is expected to hit this historical record for many years (the best result in the World Championships of the Chinese Legion is the final held by Ding Junhui), and it is hoped that the next Chinese snooker Team can reach the top of Crucible as soon as possible.
