Because he's still the official world #1 until the end of the season, when the provisional rankings become the official rankings for next season.

Wednesday's China Open results: Peter Ebdon 5-4 Judd Trump Mark Selby 5-2 Rod Lawler Stephen Hendry 5-2 Andrew Higginson Ronnie O'Sullivan 3-5 Tian Pengfei Mark King 5-4 James Wattana Joe Perry 5-1 Tony Drago Ali Carter 5-1 Liu Chuang Shaun Murphy 2-5 Nigel Bond
2nd round: Peter Ebdon v Neil Robertson Ding Junhui v Mark Selby Ryan Day v Stephen Hendry Mark Allen v Stephen Maguire Tian Pengfei v Mark King Joe Perry v Ali Carter Nigel Bond v Marco Fu Mark Williams v John Higgins
Ronnie's 1st round exit means John Higgins is guaranteed to end the season at #1 in the world rankings. There are 6 players who still have a chance of ending the season at #2.

The season ends after the World Championship. It is also after the World Championship that the players will vote on Barry Hearn's proposals. I think May 5th is the scheduled date for the vote, which is just a couple of days after the World Championship finishes. With the official world rankings being based on results from the last 2 seasons, the first set of provisional rankings for next season can be worked out as soon as the World Championship ends as it will simply be the points gained this season. One of Barry Hearn's proposals is a change to the ranking system which would probably mean an end to the official/provisional system. Under the new proposals, the rankings would probably take into account all results over a certain period of time, meaning the top 16 could change constantly during the season.

There was an interesting quote from Ronnie (I'm not sure whether it was before or after the match) where he mentioned how difficult it is to win 2 tournaments in a row. If his main focus is the World Championship, then it's quite possible his heart wasn't in it 100% in China, especially given the way Ronnie's mind works...

Semi-final results: Ding Junhui 6-2 Mark Allen Ali Carter 4-6 Mark Williams
Ding plays Williams in tomorrow's final. A win for Ding would move him up to #4 in the provisional rankings. Williams is looking to win his first title for 4 years...

It's just been a rather average season for him. A couple of semi-finals but not much else... Incidentally, Ding Junhui has earned more ranking points than anyone else this season but is only #5 in the provisional rankings because of his poor form last season.

Reanne Evans has won her 6th consecutive World Ladies title, beating Maria Catalano (Ronnie O'Sullivan's cousin!) 5-1 in the final.
Evans has won every tournament on the ladies' circuit this season and has now won 61 consecutive matches on the circuit.
She also reached the knockout stages of the World 6 Reds Championship in December, having beaten John Higgins in the group stages.
