The latest world ranking of billiards： Murphy ranked first and Ding Junhui still ranked 11th.

　　Tom Sports News With the successful conclusion of the Northern Ireland Cup in 2007, the temporary world ranking in the new week has also changed.

　　First of all, Sean Murphy, who advanced to the Northern Ireland Cup, became the world’s number one in the provisional standings. Because Ronnie O ‘Sullivan lost to O ‘Brien in the quarter-finals, Murphy took the top spot with 29,250 points, 300 points ahead of O ‘Sullivan. The Rockets followed closely with 28,950 points, ranking second in the world. John Higgins, who barely kept the world number one after the international grand prix, retreated to fourth place. The third place is in the hands of Stephen Maguire, who just won the championship.

　　Neil Robson rose one place, ranking sixth in the world. Mark Selby, who was ranked fifth, slipped three places and temporarily ranked eighth in the world.

　　Ding Junhui’s position has not changed, and he is still the 11th in the world. Peter Ai Bodun, by virtue of his good performance this week, has upgraded two places and temporarily ranked sixth in the world. Figor O ‘Brien, runner-up of Northern Ireland Cup, has the biggest leap, rising from the original 37th place to the current 19th place.

　　Hong Kong, China’s Fu Jiajun was eliminated in the first round, so his ranking also dropped, and he fell out of the top 16 in the world, ranking 17th temporarily. Several other players from China are in a good relegation situation, and Liang Wenbo ranks first, ranking 49th. Liu Jin ranked 54th, Tian Pengfei ranked 71st, and Xiao Guodong ranked 75th. Liu Chuang’s situation is not optimistic. He is now ranked 96th.
