This morning, The Champions League Group 3 finally broke up, and the number one winning favourite Selby stopped in the final four, failing to go further and will join Group 4 to continue the game. After Selby became the world's no. 1 in the new season, he fell to the altar, played unstable in the face of weakness, lost the power of grinding control play, and could not unlock the 21st crown of the ranking tournament for a long time, and fell to the bottom after winning the world championship last year.
In this Champions League, Selby suppressed first and then rose, the first 2 games were swept by Zhao Xintong 0-3, 2-3 by Ryan Dai and then bottomed out, defeating Bingham, Ronin, Joe Perry and Xiao Guodong respectively, winning 4 and losing 2 to advance to the final four. In the semi-finals, Xiao Guodong and Selby narrowly met, and the Chinese celebrity had revenge, and the wind swept out 4 shots and 50+, and the total score was 3-1 to win the opponent to advance. World No. 1 will move into Group 4, and with the addition of rivals such as Trump, Karen Wilson and Hawkins, it will be increasingly difficult for him to storm the winner's seat.
Selby lost to Zhao Xintong in the group stage of this tournament, lost to Xiao Guodong in the semi-finals, and lost 2 Chinese players in 2 days, and it is still unknown when to break the championship drought. In the new season of the 80s and 3 Tigers, Trump won the championship, Robertson reached the final 2, reached the top of the English Open, and lost the world grand prix to O'Shaaravin, but Selby never reached any of the finals. Now that the schedule is about to pass the halfway mark, Selby will not find his form again, and I am afraid that he will end with 0 crowns.
Unlike Selby's "Skyfall", the Chinese players played better and better, and Zhao Xintong won the championship to break the post-90s three major championship drought, and then won the first place in the Champions League group, with Liang Wenbo in the winner group. Yan Bingtao reached the top 4 of the Championship and the Northern Ireland Championship, entered the English Open and the Top 8 of the World Grand Prix, and doubled Selby in 13 days, showing great strength. Zhao Xintong won the championship on his New Year debut, and he will fight alongside the defending champion Yan Bingtao in the Masters, looking forward to China's snooker passing on the news and continuing to shock the world.
