At the end of 2023, ** Ke has entered the halfway point of this season, and the World Taiwan Federation has announced the latest list of breaking 100. O'Sullivan is the only player to break 100 in the front stroke this season, and O'Sullivan is ahead of other players with a strong attitude, while Trump Jr. has shot 53 strokes to break 100 in a single season, and is expected to surpass 31-crown champion Higgins and stay in second place. Ding Junhui, who is concerned by Chinese fans, is proudly ranked 7th, but the two big chasers behind him are staring at him.
O'Sullivan suffered a low point in the ranking tournament last season, but he returned in the new season, winning the 8th consecutive crown in the British Championship and completing the 40th championship in the ranking tournament. He currently leads the way with a 1,230 and is the only professional to complete the 100 in the first half. Higgins, on the other hand, finished second with 967 strokes, just 13 strokes more than third-place Trump. O'Sullivan is the only player to complete 50+ 100 in the first half of this season, and if he maintains his firepower output in the second half, he will not only surpass the wizard to become the second player in history, but also become the second player to complete 1,000 strokes after O'Sullivan.
Ranked 4 to 6 are Robertson, Selby and Stephen Hendry. Although the billiards emperor is still competing in the professional arena, it is currently more entertainment-oriented, and the number of 100 strokes is basically fixed at 777 strokes. And Ding Junhui ranked 7th with a score of 645 strokes to break 100, with two strong chasers behind him.
Murphy, one of the five Tigers of the post-80s, ranked 8th with 640 strokes, and Mark Williams ranked 9th with 618 strokes. Both players have won championships this season and their strength should not be underestimated. China's No. 1 Ding Junhui has not performed well in the last two tournaments, suffering a first-round tour in the German Masters Qualifying Tournament and Macau Masters, and he is expected to bounce back and achieve glory in the new year. Let's look forward to Ding Junhui adding glory to Chinese billiards in the New Year.
