O'Sullivan won three of the snooker annual awards, and Ding Junhui was not selected as a Chinese player

At present, according to the snooker competition system, after the end of the most important event of the year, the World Championships, this season will end all competitions. Naturally, the annual award was officially announced recently. Among the several awards officially announced by Snooker, legendary player O'Sullivan became the biggest winner this season, winning three awards alone. In these annual awards, the name of a Chinese player also appeared, but not Ding Junhui, the flag bearer of Chinese snooker.

With Wilson winning the championship of the snooker championship, the player who has created miracles at this World Championships, while winning the championship, also won the annual best performance award of snooker. It has to be said that Wilson has really performed brilliantly at the World Championships and became the biggest winner.

After the best performance award of the year was awarded to Wilson, the most magical moment of the year also revealed the answer. This honor belongs to Sean Murphy. He won this award because of his amazing performance in the single game limited time match, which showed an excellent performance of 147 strokes. In addition, two other players were inducted into the Hall of Fame, namely, Bretcher and Braun.

Then look at O'Sullivan, who won three grand prizes. This season's O'Sullivan is undoubtedly perfect. Although he failed to win the championship at the World Championships, O'Sullivan did perform very well this season. He has won the British Championships and Masters in three major competitions successively, realizing the great achievement of eight championships in the British Championships and Masters. In fact, O'Sullivan has laughed to the end for seven times at the World Championships, and only one world champion is short of achieving the super achievement of three major competitions and eight grand slams. In addition to the British Championship and the Masters, O'Sullivan also won several tournaments in the season. It is precisely because of this performance that O'Sullivan also won the WST Player of the Year award. In addition to winning the Player of the Year award, O'Sullivan also won two awards, the best player voted by fans and the best player voted by the media. Indeed, O'Sullivan deserves to win these three awards in all respects.

Finally, let's take a look at the only Chinese player who won the award. This Chinese player is Zhang Anda. His annual award is the Breakthrough Player of the Year. To be honest, Zhang Anda's reputation before this season is not very great, and there are no special awards that can be won. But this season, Zhang Anda suddenly broke out. On November 12, 2023, Zhang Anda won the snooker international championship and the first ranking championship, and the world ranking entered the top 16 for the first time. Such performance makes Zhang Anda one of the only two Chinese players among the top 16 players.

The other Chinese player is Ding Junhui, but unfortunately, just like that in recent seasons, Ding Junhui has not won a championship. Although he has recovered somewhat this season, he has also failed to win the annual award. However, we also believe that Ding Junhui will break the championship shortage next season.
