49-year-old Welsh legend Mark Brown. Williams exemplified the fact that he was still on the top line, drawing two and winning one in Group D of the second stage of the Champions League, and eventually topped the group on goal difference to advance to the third stage (last eight).

The third stage of the Champions League will be played on 3 July, when the two players who have progressed from the final two groups of the third stage will compete in the final to determine the winners and runners-up, with the winner taking home £33,000 and the runners-up taking £23,000.
It is worth mentioning that Mark. Williams finished runner-up in the event last year, and after winning the Tour Championship in April this year, Mark Brown. Williams currently has 26 ranking tournaments and is currently ranked 9th in the world.
As Mark. Williams said after advancing from the first stage: he will play in the game with pure and oblivious athleticism, and in the first game of the second stage of the group, Mark Brown. Williams drew 2-2 with Stuart. Carrington (72nd). Race 2, Mark. Williams drew 2-2 with Ben. Wollaston (56th).
Last match of the group: Mark. Williams beat Si Jiahui (ranked 20th) 3-0, and it was this game that made Mark. Williams was able to win by goal difference in the end, as Ben Brown was able to win on the same set. Wollaston had two draws and one win after three group games.
But Ben. Wollaston beat Carrington 3-1 in their last game, while Mark. Williams defeated Si Jiahui 3-0. Williams was able to win on goal difference.
At the same time, the group stage of the current Champions League was also marked by Mark. Williams faced off again with Si Jiahui after this year's World Championships, and Si Jiahui narrowly defeated Mark 10-9 in the first round of this year's World Championships. Williams, Si Jiahui's stability and courage in the deciding game made Mark. Williams lavished praise on it.
In Group H, which was held at the same time on the day, world No. 63 Martin. O'Donnell made a breakthrough in the group to advance to the third stage of the tournament (round of eight).
The 38-year-old turned professional in 2012 returned to the profession with a pre-23/24 "Q Tour" (Pro Tryout) title, and finished runner-up at the 2024 Welsh Open last season (final: 4-9 Gary. Wilson).
I have to mention: Martin. O'Donnell came close to winning in Group H with a 2-2 draw with Matthew "Welsh Dragons" in the first game of the group. Stevens (ranked 48th), in Game 2, O'Donnell drew 2-2 with 2024 World Championship runner-up Jack Brown. Jones (14th).
In the final game, O'Donnell, who played steadily, defeated rookie Ma Hailong (ranked 77th) 3-1 to achieve one win and two draws after three games.
And at this time, Jack in the same group. Jones and Matthew. Stevens also managed two draws each, which means that in the final game of the group, no matter whether it is Jack Brown. Jones and Matthew are still the same. Stevens, if either of them can beat each other 3-0, one of them will overtake O'Donnell to become the eventual winner of the group.
But it backfired, Jack. Jones and Stevens ended up drawing 2-2 again. O'Donnell thus reaped the "fisherman's advantage" in this "competition between the snipe and the clam competition".
On July 2, the second phase of the Champions League will have the last two sets of matches to determine the top 8 candidates:
Group F: Gary. Wilson, Ryan. Dai, Joe. O'Connor, David. Liri
Group G: Jackson. Page, Michael. White, Yousenbach, Robbie. McGuigan
