It's 2024 that you're defending now though, that's what drops off.I cant be bothered to look up Edhouse, Wright or Chisnall, but Smith doesn't need much to start moving the right way. He's defending barely anything now, a semi final at the UK Open the only TV money this year, and the rest is all first and second rounds. That's on TV, European and on the floor
Yeah, when I put UK Open, I meant Matchplay. Just read wrong across the timeline, I blame the snow blurring my eyesIt's 2024 that you're defending now though, that's what drops off.
He's got a semi-final at the Matchplay which disappears. Plus being down the rankings means he gets far tougher matches early on compared to when he was ranked 2 in the world.
Edhouse will absolutely plummet once his Euros drops off, he has fuck all else. Didn't even qualify to defend his title.
Price is fair value in fairness. I know he's down at 12 in the rankings but he's more than good enough to mix it with anyone.Clayton, Bunting, Rock and Price get the nod. Price and Bunting solely in for the crowd reactions to them.
