On October 13, 2024, Beijing time, with the end of the World Snooker Wuhan Open, the latest world rankings of the World Snooker Tour were also announced. Judd Trump remains firmly in first place, Kyren Wilson is second, and Allen is third.
Selby was fourth, O'Sullivan was fifth, and Brecel was sixth. Mark Williams is seventh, Murphy is eighth, and Ding Junhui is ninth. Zhang Anda tenth. Carter, Gary Wilson, Scarf, Higgins, Jack Jones and Neil Robertson are ranked 11th through 16th.
China's Xiao Guodong moved up 11 spots to 18th place after winning the title, and he will be on track to finish in the top 16 this season.
Trump and Wilson Allen continue to finish in the top three
Although Trump stopped in the semifinals of the Wuhan Open, his current world No. 1 position still cannot be replaced by others. After adding a £30,000 prize for the semi-finals of the Wuhan Open, Trump currently remains at the top of the table with 1,521,200 pounds.
At the same time, it also allowed Trump to widen the points gap between himself and the second in the world to 519,700 pounds. Judging from the current situation, it will be difficult for Trump to step down from the world No. 1 throne even after the end of the season.
Kyren Wilson, the first player to beat Trump in the final this season, is second in the world with £1,001,500 in points, which has temporarily strengthened his position.
Mark Allen, who has been average this season, is third with £966,700 in points. It is worth mentioning that Allen has been eager to return to the world No. 1 throne before, but with the current situation, it may be difficult for him to achieve this dream in a short period of time.
Ding Junhui is China's highest-ranked snooker player
The player next to Allen is Selby, the United Kingdom Open champion who is currently fourth in the world with 761,700 pounds, while O'Sullivan is fifth with 739,500 pounds. Former world champion Brecel is sixth with £668,900 in points.
However, given Brechel's current situation, if he does not do well this season, he may end the season in a very awkward position. Three-time world champion Mark Williams is seventh with £655,000 in points, while Murphy is eighth with £623,300.
Although he has won only three matches at the Wuhan Open, he is still in ninth place with 473,500 pounds, which keeps him as the highest-ranked player in China. China's Zhang Anda is 10th with £461,750 points, up one place from the previous one, which puts him on track to return to China's top spot.
Xiao Guodong has risen 11 places in the ranking and is expected to enter the top 16
World runner-up Carter was 11th with £456,900 in points, while Gary Wilson was 12th with £455,900.
China's Si Jiahui is 13th with £424,400 with a new Wuhan Open runner-up bonus, while four-time world champion John Higgins is 14th with £372,850.
World runner-up Jack Jones is currently 15th with £347,500 in points, while Neil Robertson is 16th with £345,850. Tomford is 17th with £343,850 in points.
Xiao Guodong, who has just won the Wuhan Open, is in 18th place with an additional 140,000 pounds of points, with 337,500 pounds, an increase of 11 places from before.
Hawkins is currently 19th with £318,050 and Lisowski 20th with £303,900. Zhou Yuelong ranked 26th, and Pang Junxu ranked 27th. Wu Yize is temporarily ranked 30th, Lu Haotian is currently ranked 33rd, and Yuan Sijun is ranked 39th.
