| 3 World Snooker Rankings Movers after The Crucible |
 
“Mark Williams” by DerHexer (CC BY-SA 4.0)
3 World Snooker Rankings Movers after The Crucible
Another snooker season may be done and dusted but there was great drama along the way – nowhere more so than at the last the tournament, the World Championship.
Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre contains all the ingredients to make or break even the greats of the green baize. That explains why the top two in the world snooker rankings – Mark Selby and Ronnie O’Sullivan – bowed out of this cue sport’s premier event early yet previous successes kept them high in the order of merit.
Whose displays – good and bad – caught the eye, though? Here we look at three world snooker ranking movers.
Mark Williams
The obvious place to start is with shock World Snooker Championship winner Mark Williams. He didn’t even make it to the tournament proper at The Crucible in 2017 but became the oldest champ for 40 years when he denied fellow veteran potter John Higgins in a memorable 18-16 victory in this year’s final.
Williams was never behind in that match, and if you aren’t then you can’t lose. At 43, he belied a 15-year gap from his last Crucible crown to become a three-time world champion and match rankings top dog Selby despite being almost a decade his senior. Age appears no barrier to success on the baize, however, as the Welsh Potting Machine scooped the Northern Ireland Open and German Masters prizes this season and he’s an 8/1 chance with Coral to retain his world title.
Naturally, this surprise victory for Williams has catapulted him into third spot – best of the rest behind the Jester from Leicester and snooker genius O’Sullivan. It’s even more remarkable because the he had considered retirement and was ranked outside the world’s top 16 as recently as when the seedings for another Triple Crown event, the UK Championship, were decided.

Jeremy Jones named as US Vice-Captain
Jeremy Jones, a five-time winner of the Mosconi Cup, has been named vice-captain of Team USA squad as they look to get back in the winner’s circle after years of European domination. Jones, 47, competed for the US on seven occasions and last played in Malta in 2008. He was selected by team captain Johan Ruijsink for his knowledge, experience and leadership.
The 2003 US Open champion will be an integral part of the operation in the build-up as well as at the event itself which takes place at Alexandra Palace, London this December 4-7.
Jones is determined to make a difference to Team USA this time around; “I’m hoping some of my experience may be a helping hand for the guys. I’ve had plenty of thoughts on why our team hasn’t won since 2009 and come to realize it’s got to be a bit of a fluke along with some good reasons. I’m not saying the Euros haven’t earned their wins but I think you get what I’m saying.
“I feel my best asset to the team will be mostly mental. And I’m sure some tactical things also. But mainly the mentality and realizing everyone’s a little different.

Fred Dinsmore
Dinsmore Delight
The BWPPA tour returned to Escape Pool Bar in Barnsley over the sunny weekend of 12-13 May, as 15 players did battle for the Simonis Grand Prix title. The tour welcomed Great Britain shooter Jonathan Bates, who was making his BWPPA debut in his hometown.
The first round threw up some thrilling matchups including two dramatic hill-hill battles. Fred Dinsmore had to use all of the experience that helped him win the wheelchair World 9-ball title last November, as he pipped Craig Welsh 7-6. Elsewhere having lead 3-0, Adam Pearson survived a hill-hill encounter with Matthew Lester to take the match 7-6. Stoke’s Dave Beaumont beat Frankie Gillen 7-4, which sent ”Hotwheels” into the one-loss bracket. Gillen was to fall victim to another hill-hill drama, this time at the hands of Darren Taylor who came through a 6-5 victor.

China are World Cup of Pool champions!
The Final
China 10-3 Austria
Semi-Finals
SF 1 – China A 9-7 Chinese Taipei
SF 2 – Austria 9-8 China B
China are the 2018 World Cup of Pool Champions after they defeated defending champions Austria by 10-3, the biggest winning margin in the events race-to-ten era. The team of Wu Jiaqing and Liu Haitao dominated the Austrian pair of Albin Ouschan and Mario He to the delight of the crowd at the Luwan Arena, Huangpu District in Shanghai.
The winning pair earned $60,000 between them, two gold medals and the magnificent trophy. It was the third World Cup of Pool victory on home soil following the Philippines in 2009 and England in 2014.
The victory also equals the Philippines record of three World Cup of Pool wins following wins for China in 2007 in Rotterdam and 2010 in Manila.
Commented Liu, “I have played Matchroom tournaments before but never had a good run like this. I cannot remember how I played, it is a bit of a haze, but I must thank Wu as well.”
Wu added, “I am really, really happy to win this tournament. I had never played with Liu as a doubles partner so we were working on the chemistry from day one and the first few matches we struggled but in this final it was a really brilliant performance.”

Austria, China A & B and Chinese Taipei are the final four in Shanghai
Quarter Finals
QF 1 – Chinese Taipei 9-5 USA
QF 2 – China A 9-8 Spain
We are down to the last four in Shanghai and there are three Asian teams plus defending champions Austria contesting the semi-final matches at the Luwan Stadium on Sunday afternoon. In the final last eight matches, Chinese Taipei defeated USA in a match of two halves, while China A took a last rack decider to put paid to Spanish hopes.
The $250,000 tournament originated in 2006 and has since moved around the world before touching down in Shanghai. The World Cup features 32 pairs from across the globe including two from host nation China. Running from 15th to 20th May, the event is on live TV in over 100 countries around the world.
The third quarter-final match was a definite game of two halves as Chinese Taipei defeated the USA by a 9-5 margin. The USA had opened up a 5-1 lead and looked in a commanding position.

However, the tide turned as the Taiwanese pair began to pull back the racks. They got the match to 5-4 before Cheng Yu Hsuan (Kevin Cheng) locked the US up in a super-tight safety and Van Boening fouled trying to escape.
That gave Chinese Taipei the lead for the first time and they never looked back, playing flawless pool to take the next four games for the win. Both players looked superb but in Cheng, the Taiwanese look to have the player of the tournament.
Commented the 2015 US Open champion, “It is exciting for us to be in the semi-finals and like yesterday we are very happy with our win. At 5-1 down I was thinking, just give us a chance because they were playing almost perfect. Tomorrow we will just play our game. Whoever we come against we will just play our game, that is it.”
“The turning point was that safety in the tenth rack. After that we didn’t really get a shot. I think this team can win the whole thing tomorrow night,” said Woodward for the USA.
