Very logical choices. Well done!

Filler's campaign would have been enough in many a year, but in 2022, FSR outperformed him.

Kelly Fisher was the clear choice among the women, although Chou might just be the one to beat in 2023 after winning the Women's World 9-ball Championship in Atlantic City in January.

Thanks Stu. I honestly thought it was going to be Fedor for six months or so. This is an amazing run that FSR is on right now, though.

There's no denying that Fedor's story was inspiring, and with or without a "player of the year" distinction, who will ever forget how he persisted in the wake of what must have been an emotionally devastating WPA ban on Russian players.

The year Fedor spent in America endeared him to American pool fans, including this one. He is one of the giants of the game right now and will surely remain as much.
