The lead-in to the interview says "...Thorsten Hohmann opens up about the satisfaction of winning the event twice, why 9-ball is the best game in the world, and how he’s plenty hungry for more."
I don't think he said 9-ball is the best game in the world. He did say: "I love 9-ball. I think it’s a great game." I think I have heard him say his favorite game is 14.1.
