Watch Wilson clinch stunning 147 at Crucible as fans celebrate
Kyren Wilson enjoyed three straight wins on Monday on the opening day of Championship League Group 6 in Leicester.
The 2020 world finalist completed victories over Sam Craigie (3-1), Fan Zhengyi (3-2) and Elliott Slessor (3-2) to top the section on three points with Slessor, Joe O’Connor and Pang Junxu on two points in the chase to reach the last four at the invitational event.
Two-time Championship League winner Wilson compiled breaks of 94, 106 and 65 against Craigie, and 75 and 140 against Welsh Open semi-finalist Slessor, who had led 2-1 with blistering knocks of 100 and 133.
Group 6 concludes with the top four in the section contesting a semi-final and final on Tuesday evening.
The champion from each group qualifies for the winners’ group on March 12 and 13, with the other top four players continuing to Group 6 as the bottom two players are eliminated at the end of each group.
The winner of the Championship League also earns a spot in the Champion of Champions later this year.
Stuart Bingham, Chris Wakelin, Mark Selby, Neil Robertson and John Higgins have already booked their place in the winners’ group (March 12-13) with the two final places being settled this week.
