Davis up to 17th in world rankings
Mark Davis has moved up a place to 17th in the latest World Snooker rankings.
The St Leonards cueman has leapfrogged World Championship finalist Ali Carter after his run to the semi-finals of the Australian Goldfields Open last week.
Although just outside the all-important top 16, Davis is in effect just inside because reigning world champion Ronnie O’Sullivan isn’t on the circuit at present.
