There was no real surprise yesterday in either group.
Here is the report shared by WST:
Lu And Luca Look To Winners’ Week
Luca Brecel and Lu Ning won Groups 10 and 29 respectively to progress to Winners’ Week at 2022 BetVictor Championship League Snooker at the Morningside Arena, Leicester live on FreeSports, Matchroom.Live and networks worldwide.
Brecel came into Group 10 alongside Robbie Williams, Zhao Jianbo, and Oliver Brown with hopes of following on from a fine season last term. The Belgian Bullet looked cool and composed throughout his opening match as he rattled off a 3-0 win in quick time over Zhao, making breaks of 76 and 85.
Williams drew 2-2 with Brown then beat Zhao 3-1, before Brecel saw off Brown 3-1 thanks to breaks of 89 and 66. Brecel met Williams in the last of the action, with Brecel needing only a draw to top the group. Williams took a 2-0 lead and needed only one more frame to finish the day at the summit, but Brecel hit back with runs of 67 and 98 to secure the 2-2 scoreline he needed. He becomes the second top 16 player to reach Winners’ Week after Zhao Xintong progressed earlier in the week.
“I played some really good stuff today,” said Scottish Open champion Brecel. “I made a lot of breaks and felt like I was the best player in the group. To be 2-0 down against Robbie, I felt like I would’ve been disappointed if I didn’t win the group. I practised a lot during the summer. I’ve been playing some good stuff in practice. It’s not a surprise. It’s always nice to do it on the match table. I feel like I am playing a lot better than last season.
“I don’t have many points to defend this season, so the only way is up. If I can get some good results, I could finish maybe top four by the end. There’s a lot to play for.”
China’s Lu got off to a fine start, beating John Astley in the opener 3-1 with breaks of 97 and 91. He went on to record a 3-0 win over Chen Zifan with a top run of 54, and he sealed the group success in style with a 3-1 defeat of Oliver Lines.
BetVictor Championship League Snooker returns on Monday with Ronnie O’Sullivan in action in Group 1 with Alexander Ursenbacher, Farakh Ajaib, and Alfie Burden. Table 2 live on the Matchroom Multi Sport YouTube sees Jamie Jones, Sam Craigie, David Lilley and Andres Petrov do battle.
This is the table:
There isn’t really much to add to the above report. The highest seeded played the best snooker and dominated their groups. Maybe though they could have interviewed Lu Ning as well as Luca.
Ronnie O'Sullivan 
Indeed, Lu Ning was excellent, but Oliver Lines wasn’t. He started last season well, but his preparation hasn’t worked this time. Actually, Lu didn’t ‘seal the group success’ against Lines – it was a completely dead match.
As for interviewing the Chinese players, the policy still seems in place. WST interviewed 11 of the 12 Q School qualifiers, neglecting Bai Langning, who probably has a more interesting story than anyone. Last year they suddenly discovered that Zhao Xintong was a wonderful interviewee and a great ambassador. It could have opened doors, but obviously hasn’t.
