Probably the most worthy World number 1. Won UK, WGP, NIO, COC, PC and Shoot Out that puts him higher than two World Champions, second UK Champion and even higher than Judd that won five ranking titles last season.
The quality of snooker has dropped so much in recent years. if I'd have said to you 20 years ago that the world number one has just made his first century of the season and he hasn't even won a major tournament yet. What would you say. William, O'Sullivan, Hendrey, Higgins would have been banging in centuries for fun 20 years ago
The quality of snooker has incredibly risen in recent years. 20 years ago it was one player who wins everything, he wins WC and it was enough to be world number 1 by far, now competition is so high, that none of two World Champions are on the first line, not even the second.
