Champions League: Si Jia Hui lost the final match, China's three generals missed the quarter-finals, Milkins and Sankham advanced

The second phase of the 2023 Snooker Champions League (Ranked Version) ended in Group C and Group H in the early morning of July 19, Beijing time, with China losing three and Robert Milkins and Nopon Sankham qualifying from the group to advance to the quarterfinals.

In Group H, two young Chinese upcomers, Pang Junxu and Si Jiahui, competed fiercely with the group's top 16 veteran Milkins. In the first two games, Milkins kept a clean sheet on Astley, and Si Jia Hui broke the opening and won 3-1 against Pang Junxu. In the next hedge match, Scarfai played against Milkins. After Scarlet scored a single 55 to win the first inning, in the second game, a global error was scored by Milkins with an 89. In the third game, there were still frequent problems on An Global, and Si Jia Hui lost another game. In the fourth game, Si Jia Hui won a city, and the two sides drew and took one point each. In the other game, Pang Junxu drew with Astley. At this time, the situation in the group was chaotic.

In the final round, Scarlet faced Astley, losing two consecutive games after 1-1, and had lost his hopes of qualifying. In the final game, Pang Junxu against Lao Mi, not only to win, but also to win 3-0, otherwise if it is only a 3-1 win, then the group four will have 4 points, and Milkins will advance by one more goal difference. Milkins came up and took a round to lock in the promotion; In the end, Pang Junxu tied 0-2, scoring only 2 points in three games, and finished bottom of the group. Scarlet came in second with one more goal difference. It is a pity that the two Chinese generals still failed to block Lao Mi.

In Group C, Chinese professional newcomer Liu Hongyu lost 3-0 to Thailand's Sankham in the opening game, falling into a disadvantageous situation. Sankham then drew with Wells and beat Katy 3-1 to finish at the top of the group with seven points to advance to the quarter-finals. Liu Hongyu performed well in the last two games, beating Katy 3-1 and drawing with Wales in the final game, scoring four points and finishing second in the group with a slight difference of one more game. Despite failing to qualify from the group, Liu made his professional debut very rewarding, receiving a £6,000 ranking bonus.

Tonight's match continues, with Group A Zhou Yuelong and Xiao Guodong playing, and Group D Murphy will face the challenge of Brother Tudou and Fast Gun.
