After a disappointing run of form, the Belgian is ranked 56th in the end-of-season rankings and he needs to be above the top 64 cut-off point. His World Championship prize money will also be removed from his points total which puts him at serious risk of dropping into Qualifying School.Brecel was beaten 4-1 by Pang Junxu at the Northern Ireland Open after opting to fly into the country shortly before the match started.
One fan on Reddit said: “He's always been like this. I honestly think he just devoted himself to winning the Worlds and then went back to how he normally is. You can tell snooker isn't his life.” He told BBC Sport: “I'm playing well enough - it's just about bringing my practice game to the match table, then I'll be OK. I just need to get on a run, that will come."I'm not worried about losing my Tour card as I would see it as a challenge to be in Qualifying School.
