    So now that ken lost against selby will he still have his top 32 place?

    Rite, I've after doing some maths there and.....



    ...He's safe!!! :)


    He should finish in either 30th or 31st position depending on how far Martin Gould goes in the tournament (This is on the presumtion that Stuart Pettman who is 8-1 down overnight is knocked out tomorrow).





    Now, as far as I can see, because Ken has had such a good season this year, when next years season begins he will be provisionally for the next season in the top 16 (13-16'ish dependant on how some others do in the WC). So he will be well placed to be a top 16 player for the 2011/2012 season if he keeps some form going. :)

    Yeah he has safely secured his top 32 place for next season,Ken is provisionally ranked 30th with 21354 ranking points for this season. With Pettman and O'Brien looking like first round casualties as well the nearest trouble to him is Martin Gould who currently lies on 18072 pts but with a further 5000 pts to be gained if he overcomes Joe Perry in the last 16, even if Gould does win that match he will just move Ken down one spot to 31 and he himself should climb to around 25.

    Perry himself will have the chance to climb back into the top 16 should he beat Gould, i really hope he does as he's one of the nicest guys you could wish to meet, hence the nickname 'Gentleman Joe Perry'.

    Interestingly enough is the one year ranking list which sees Ken currently lying in 14th spot, this is the ranking list favoured by new chairman Barry Hearn as it rewards players on current form and not something they did over two seasons.

    Rankings Update

    The race for number 2:
     Well although John Higgins had the no. 1 spot sewn up since before the WC, the no. 2 spot is still very undecided.

    If Ali Carter loses his semi-final and Neil Robertson fails to win the World Championship, Ronnie O'Sullivan will be no. 2. However, if Ali makes it through to the final and Neil wins the title Ronnie could be no. 4.

    Either way they will be 2nd, 3rd & 4th.

    The Top 16:
    The top 16 is now decided with Liang Wenbo debuting and Graeme Dott returning. Subsequently Joe Perry & Peter Ebdon bow out and have to go to the qualifiers.

    The Top 32:
    Ken Doherty comes back in & Fergal O'Brien goes out.

    Yea, I was looking at that the other day, Ken has been really very fortunate that most of the guys around him failed to qualify for the WC too.

    However, with Ken only getting 1150 losing points from the World Championship, Joe Perry and Dominic Dale could easily drop him to 32nd and if Rory McLeod were to get to the semi's he would be out, a bit unlikely maybe but you just never know.
