　　On the morning of 19th, Beijing time, the 2023 Snooker Champions League (ranking match) ended the competition for the second match day of the second stage. All three China players who played on that day were defeated, and no one advanced to the quarter-finals.

　　The ongoing Champions League in Britain is the first ranking match of snooker in the new season. The competition is divided into three stages: in the first stage, 128 players are divided into 32 groups for single round robin, and each group is the first to advance to the top 32; The 32 players in the second stage were divided into 8 groups, and each group advanced to the top 8 first; The eight players in the third stage were divided into two groups, and the top of the group advanced to the final.

　　A total of 19 China players appeared in the first stage of this competition (Ding Junhui, the first brother of China billiards, did not sign up for the competition), and 7 of them advanced to the top 32. On the second match day of the second stage, Si Jiahui, Pang Junxu and Liu Hongyu of Group C, who were in the same group, played on the same day, but all ended up in the second stage.

　　In Group H, TOP16 (the top 16 in the world) star Milkins is the favourite to be promoted, but in the first two group matches, Sijiahui, who just celebrated his 21st birthday, is evenly matched with Milkins (1 win and 1 draw): in the first game, Sijiahui won the "China Derby" with Pang Junxu by 3:1, and Milkins defeated English player astley by 3:0; The two men drew 2-2 in the second match.

　　In the final battle to decide "life and death", as the biggest "dark horse" in this year’s World Snooker Championships, Si Jiahui unexpectedly lost to astley by 1:3. Although Milkins was tied by Pang Junxu in the final battle, he still advanced to the quarter-finals with 1 win and 2 draws and the first place in the group. Si Jiahui finished second in the group by one point, and Pang Junxu finished second in the group with two draws and one loss.

　　In Group C, Liu Hongyu, who broke into the top 32 in the first stage, failed to continue his "dark horse" tour. The 19-year-old recruit who participated in the professional competition for the first time ranked second in the group with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, and regretted being out. Thailand’s famous Samkham, with 2 wins and 1 draw, advanced to the quarter-finals.

　　In the first day of the second stage, TOP16 star MarkBaodao is not old. He swept his opponent 3-0 in Group F and advanced to the top 8. However, in Group E, another TOP16 player, Kelen wilson, unexpectedly "overturned", ranking second in the group with 2 wins and 1 loss. British player Chris Wakelin won the first place in the group with 2 wins and 1 draw, and grabbed another place in the quarter-finals that day.

　　So far, in 2023, the snooker Champions League (ranking match) has finished four group matches in the second stage, and correspondingly, four places have been promoted to the top eight.

　　On the next match day, China’s Zhou Yuelong and Xiao Guodong, who are in Group A, will both appear. In the second phase of the eight groups, the overall strength of Group A is relatively weak, and Zhou Yuelong and Xiao Guodong’s "double"",is considered to be the most likely to occupy a top eight seats for China legion.
