Hawkins has won four ranking tournaments in his career, which obviously does not match his real strength! This season, he advanced to the finals of the British Championship and the German Masters, the former lost to Trump, but helped him return to the top 16.

The only regret is that we didn't break the championship drought of the ranking tournament, after all, the opponent is the top two people in the season!
