Mei Xi Wen?
Eleventh/eleven = XI in Roman Numerals, and the “time” you arrive would be when/“Wen” you arrive

I wouldn’t have thought you’d pick a lower-ranked current player. Have you been perusing the ranking list?

Wow! Nobody has had a crack at this yet? I have nothing so far so I was hoping for a bit of inspiration.

I've reached a couple of players that I'm embarrassed to name, as the logic doesn't quite work. Inspired by Alf to get the ball rolling though:
Tony Drago
Ali Carter

I’m throwing Joe Johnson in as a starter.
Prize > top
Pail > bucket > pocket
Top Pocket is apparently a club in Bradford. So there’s JJ. I do not expect this to be correct

Ah. It must be Jack Lisowski.
Prize > Jackpot
Pail > Jack and Jill nursery rhyme, “went up the hill to fetch a pail of water” > Jack
