On February 3, 2022, Beijing time, the seventh group of the Snooker Champions League broke out again, and Karen Wilson, who won four consecutive games on the first matchday, failed to continue the strength, and suffered 3 consecutive defeats on this matchday, and the post-90s star was unfortunately out. O'Sullivan won only 2 and lost 4, ranking fifth in the group and missing out on the title.
World number five Karen Wilson, who started in the Champions League from Group Four, reached the final in Group Four but lost 2-3 to Bingham. Karen Wilson then played in Group Five, but lost 2-3 to Scott Donaldson in the group semifinals. Karen Wilson did not withdraw from the competition, and participated in the sixth group competition, this time falling in the semi-finals of the group, he was swept by Yan Bingtao.
The seventh group was Karen Wilson's last chance to compete for the winner's spot, and he still showed good competitive form, beating O'Sullivan, Martin Gould, Richie Walton and Ding Junhui on the first matchday to top the table. Sadly, on the final matchday, Karen Wilson slipped into form, losing 2-3 to Ali Carter and losing 1-3 to Higgins to finish third in the group.
In the semi-finals of the group, Karen Wilson lost three consecutive sets in the first set to lose 3 to Higgins 1-3 and missed the group final. After participating in four consecutive group competitions, Karen Wilson was still unable to qualify for the winners' group, but Karen Wilson won a lot of prize money, and the trip was also a full harvest. Interestingly, in all four groups, the players who beat Karen Wilson advanced to the winners' group.
In addition to Karen Wilson's upset defeat to Ali Carter, there was another big upset on this matchday, with O'Sullivan losing 2-3 to Ali Carter. The game was quite exciting, with Ali Carter shooting 91 and 141 points, and O'Sullivan then shooting 73 and 89 points. In the decider, Ali Carter scored a 60-pointer against O'Sullivan. Ali Carter finished first with 5 wins and 1 loss in the round robin, but he lost to Ding Junhui in the semi-finals of the group, which is the charm of short-term games, and the variables are very large.
Ali Carter has created a big upset in a row, but in the end he still did not have the opportunity to enter the championship group, and O'Sullivan's attitude towards the game was more casual, playing 6 games and only achieving 2 wins and 4 losses, and also had no chance to compete for the championship. Another veteran, Higgins, eventually came out, and after beating Ding Junhui 3-2, Higgins advanced to the championship group. With the last two matchdays left in this Champions League, Higgins, Yan Bingtao, Zhao Xintong, Liang Wenbo, Bingham, Scott Donaldson, Graeme Dort and other 7 players competing for the championship!
