On February 2, 2022, Beijing time, the snooker Champions League continued, and the seventh group broke out 3 big cold goals. The first was O'Sullivan's eight consecutive losses, 3-0 to Karen Wilson, and then O'Sullivan lost 2-3 to Martin Gould. This was followed by Higgins' surprise defeat of O'Sullivan and Richie Wharton, only to be defeated by 42-year-old veteran Ali Carter.
Short-term matches are very contingencies, but compared with the strength of the players and the experience of the big game, some results can still be called unpopular. First of all, O'Sullivan is in average form, his attitude towards the game does not seem to be serious enough, losing 3-0 to Karen Wilson, and losing to karen Wilson now is more normal, but it is too surprising to get a clean sheet. O'Sullivan then lost 3-0 to Higgins and faced Rich Walton on a two-for-three run to win the first victory. However, O'Sullivan lost eight consecutive sets, which was a big surprise.
In the last match of the first matchday, O'Sullivan lost three consecutive sets with a 2-0 lead and was killed by Martin Gould, which should be a big upset. With only 1 win and 3 losses in 4 rounds, O'Sullivan faces an exit as this is the last group match and if he fails to finish in the top four of the group, it is tantamount to ending the Champions League journey early.
The third biggest upset was Higgins being swept by the 42-year-old Ali Carter, who was in excellent form before hijab against Ali Carter, who swept O'Sullivan 3-0 and ritchie Walton 3-1. But facing Ali Carter, Higgins suddenly lost his hand, scoring a total of 24 points in three sets, and was kept a clean sheet by his opponent in the third set, and finally lost 0-3.
However, higgins, although upset defeat to Ali Carter, is currently in third place, and the hope of advancing to the top four is very great, after all, he still has three games left, the opponents are Ding Junhui, Karen Wilson, Martin Gould, winning two of them, Higgins can lock a single-elimination place.
In the past few seasons, although the post-80s big three Trump, Neil Robertson, Selby is the absolute protagonist, Zhao Xintong, Yan Bingtao and other young players have also begun to make achievements, but O'Sullivan, Higgins and other veterans are still in good shape, Higgins has defeated O'Sullivan four times in a row, it is indeed very powerful, they are all young players to catch up with the target, their existence for the sport of snooker, of great significance!
