On February 1, the seventh group of the 2022 Snooker Champions League began the first day of the showdown, including China's brother Ding Junhui, O'Sullivan, Higgins, Karen Wilson, Carter, Walton, Gould and other seven people formed the strongest group lineup, and the death group battle was particularly eye-catching. On the first day of the game, Wilson, who has played in the group stage for the fourth time, performed well, winning all four games, only one set, and occupying the top spot in the group, while Ding Junhui was 2 wins and 1 loss, temporarily ranking fourth, and the game lost was against Wilson, which is Ding Junhui's fifth consecutive loss against Wilson, and also continues the embarrassing record of nearly 15 consecutive months of the world's top 16 wins.
In the sixth group competition of the Champions League, Ding Junhui signed up again after many years, and was in the same group as Yan Bingtao, Wilson, Carter, Gould, Serte, Jordan Brown and others, achieving a record of 4 wins and 2 losses, ranking third to advance to the final four, but in the semifinals against Gould, unfortunately lost 2-3, and did not have the opportunity to meet Yan Bingtao in the final. But at that time, Ding Junhui's two losses in the group stage were lost to Yan Bingtao and Wilson respectively, continuing his spell of not winning against the top 16 seeded players. After getting the opportunity to continue to play in the seventh group, Ding Junhui will face a more severe test, in addition to Wilson, Carter, Gould in the same group, but also added O'Sullivan, Higgins, Robertson (back to the game was replaced by Walton) and other famous players, the duel is quite difficult.
On the first day of the game, Ding Junhui has played three games, the first game against the old opponent Gould, Ding Junhui 3-1 strong revenge, in the case of losing the first set first, and then played three shots of 50+ in three sets, a perfect turnaround. In the second game against Carter, Ding Junhui still maintained the victory and won 3-1 again. In the third game against Wilson, Ding Junhui was once again in trouble, the first two sets were directly clean sheeted, Wilson broke 100 in the first set, single shot 129-0, the second set in a single set to play two high scores, single 58 points and single shot 77 points again 135-0 clean sheet. In the third set, Ding Junhui scored 50 points, but was still overturned by Wilson's single shot of 64 points, and finally the big score was 0-3, and was swept again. This is also the second time that Ding Junhui was swept 3-0 by Wilson in the previous group. Coupled with the start of the 2018 China Open, the follow-up 2018 6 Red Ball World Championship Final, the 2020 Welsh Open, Ding Junhui has suffered five consecutive defeats against Wilson, which is really embarrassing.
In the same group of competitions, the brightest star is the "Rocket" O'Sullivan, who in the exhibition game of the past few days, he scored two consecutive perfect scores of 147, which can be described as a show to fly. However, in the Champions League, O'Sullivan was like a new person, in no form, and in the first two games, he was swept 3-0 by Wilson and Higgins. In the third game against Walton, barely won 3-2, but in the fourth game against Gould, it lost 2-3, with a record of 1 win and 3 losses on the first day, ranking fifth and on the verge of being out. There were two group games on the second day, against Ding Junhui and Carter, and if one was lost, it was likely to be out. For Ding Junhui, the second day will be against Higgins, Walton, O'Sullivan, if you want to advance to the final four, you must win at least two games to ensure stability. Expect him to break the spell of no win against the top 16, and against formidable opponents like Higgins and O'Sullivan.
