Nothing wrong in your comment but Wu can match both. Ko got quite lucky in extremely crucial points in his 11-10 win against Wu. Reminding a lot their semifinal WC clash last year.
Seriously? Since when the so called "best player in the world" (be it Wu, SVB, Shaw, Ko or whoever) should win every tournament he's entering? lol
Not sure there is a "best" player. Players get hot for a period of time, then someone else does the same. Ko, Wu, Jayson Shaw, SVB, and Alex all look like the best, for a while. This makes it interesting whenever these guys are in the same tournament, because we really don't know who is going to take home the hardware. I for one like the drama. I just wish there were more tournaments with worldwide participation.
Never, but a guy who isn't the best player in the world shouldn't be called that. Did he win the Worlds, no. US Open, no, Kuwait Open, no. Japan, no. What has he won besides the China Open & some Chinese 8 ball events lately?

Give me any name you want and try to answer your own question (with the needed changes of course). You'll be surprised by the result.
You're missing my point. I think ranking players in pool is like herding cats, a complete waste of time. It's a streak thing & very seldom in the history of this sport has anyone ever dominated over any real length of time. I just find it hilarious that he's ranked in that spot & it's unjustified.
I'm not missing your point at all. You're talking to someone who thinks that WPA's ranking system (which by the way Wu doesn't hold the top spot) or even more the FargoRate rankings (which is obviously the one you're referring to) are utter garbage.
Ko, Pin-Yi's path to victory in the 2016 All Japan 9-Ball Championship:
1. Asano Masato -- 9-5
2. Elvis Perez -- 9-8
3. Takenaka Hiroshi -- 11-9
4. Wu Jiaqing -- 11-10
5. Raymund Faraon -- 11-4
6. Carlo Biado -- 11-9
7. Thorsten Hohmann -- 11-8
8. Jeffrey de Luna -- 11-3
Total games -- 84-56 (winning percentage 60%)

Name one match where Wu lost game with margin of more than one or two racks. Let´s say in two years..
And almost always he lost to tournament winner... Those happened. But rarely. Winning tournament need luck. That what Ko had against Wu
.
Anybody know the prize money?
Mississauga Fats wants to know, but apparently his fingers are broken...
According to azv money list Johann Chua won $14,605 In 2015
Ko won 28k and then 18k(2013).
So it seems like the prize money is drying up on this event.
