In terms of world rankings, due to O'Sullivan's withdrawal, seeded players Brecel, Selby, Shaun Murphy, Ding Junhui and Lisowski are all out in the first round, so the world's top 16 rankings have changed little. O'Sullivan is firmly ranked No. 1 in the world rankings with championship points in the British Championship and the World Grand Prix. Trump reached the final of this tournament and is currently ranked 2nd, with a point difference of 148,500 with O'Sullivan. Even if he wins the championship in this competition, there will still be a difference of 100,000 points, and if he wants to surpass O'Sullivan, he needs to achieve good results in at least 2-3 medium-sized ranking tournaments. Mark Allen is ranked third in the world rankings by virtue of last season's points advantage. Brecel is still in fourth place in the world rankings in the qualifying round.
Selby and Shaun Murphy suffered a first-round tour of the tournament, but they were ranked fifth and sixth respectively in the world rankings thanks to their previous points advantage. Neil Robertson finished in the round of 16 and is ranked seventh in the world, but this season he is expected to fall out of the top 16 after deducting the prize money from the 2022 Players Championship and Tour Championship. Mark Williams exited in the first round of the tournament and is ranked eighth in the world. Kairen Wilson reached the semi-finals of the tournament and moved up one place to ninth in the world rankings. Defending champion Ali Carter stopped in the quarterfinals and surpassed Ding Junhui in the world rankings to No. 10. Ding Junhui suffered a round in the qualifying round of this competition, and his world ranking dropped two places to 11th. Higgins reached the quarterfinals and ranked 12th, while Zhang Anda was eliminated in the first round of the main draw and ranked 13th in the world.
Milkins reached the round of 32 and is ranked 14th in the world, while Barry Hawkins reached the round of 64 and is ranked 15th in the world. Gary Wilson, ranked 16th in the world in the qualifying round, is only 500 points behind 17th-ranked Lisowski, and he could fall out of the top 16 in the near future. Among the top 32 players in the world is China's Zhou Yuelong, who finished in the round of 32 and is ranked 21st in the world. **The Croatian German Masters is about to usher in the final, and the outstanding performance of Chinese player Si Jiahui has attracted widespread attention and expectations. He has successfully reached the final and is expected to rise to No. 20 in the world rankings, surpassing Zhou Yuelong to become the "No. 3 player" of the Chinese ** team. This is undoubtedly an important milestone for China's leading grams, and it is also a huge breakthrough in Si Jiahui's personal career.
Previously, Pang Junxu also successfully entered the top 32 and is currently ranked 30th in the world, showing his strength and potential. However, Lu Haotian unfortunately fell to No. 31 in the world rankings in the first game of the game. Fan Zhengyi reached the quarterfinals and is ranked 33rd in the world. Xiao Guodong and Yuan Sijun ranked 38th and 39th respectively, and Cao Yupeng ranked 41st. The outstanding performance of these Chinese players in the German Masters further demonstrated the strength and rising momentum of China's best grams. **The final of the Croatian German Masters will be a high-profile matchup. Trump will consolidate his position in the single-season rankings, O'Sullivan is second, Zhang Anda is third, and Mark. Williams was fourth, Barry. Hawkins ranked fifth, and Ding Junhui ranked sixth.
Si Jiahui's success in the finals will undoubtedly bring a huge boost to his professional confidence and long-term development. If Si Jiahui wants to win the championship, he will need to face strong opponents. However, his outstanding performance and improved strength have won him more support and expectations. If he eventually wins the championship, he will become China's sixth champion of the Champion Ranking Tournament and qualify for next year's Champions of Champions and other red envelope tournaments. This is an important breakthrough for him personally, and it will also bring a positive impetus to the development of China's first gram. Si Jiahui's success is not only a personal glory, but also represents the rise of China's best grams on the world stage. In recent years, China has achieved remarkable results in international competitions, and more and more Chinese players have begun to emerge in the world rankings.
This is not only due to the promotion and development of China's best grams, but also inseparable from the efforts and talents of the players. Si Jiahui's success has also set an example and a goal for other young Chinese players. They saw an opportunity, a stage where they could realize their dreams. They will train and compete harder to make a greater contribution to the future of China. As a sport with a deep history and cultural heritage, gram has received widespread attention and love in China. More and more people are starting to pay attention to the game and learn about the rules and techniques of the sport. Gram is not just a competition, but also a spirit, a spirit of striving for excellence and perfection. Through the competition, people can learn many valuable qualities such as perseverance, teamwork, and calm thinking.
It is hoped that Si Jiahui's success can inspire more people to devote themselves to the movement and help the development of China's first gram. At the same time, I also hope that China's best gram can continue to grow, cultivate more outstanding players, and make greater contributions to the world's best competition.
