Welsh Open 2014 - Discussion

It's a mind game out there and O'Sullivan, though far from his best, has got Ding's head in a vice. It goes back to that Masters match when Ding hoisted the white flag and O'Sullivan comforted him. The scars of that match are on display here.

Dings typical smile when he gets luck, but looks grumpy when it goes against him.....

I think that's the case with most players. Even the commentators were mentioning that Ronnie doesn't apologise or raise his hand much when he gets lucky. Nature of the beast of these top players. Just competitive spirit.

Hopefully that will give him a confidence boost.

Ding was very lucky there. If the red hadn't had been accidentally snookered behind the pink then it would have been 4-0 and he knows it.

Well done Ding! Great clearance.

[Odrl]

Even that was hard work for Ding, a routine colour clearance. They've been giving each other gifts the whole day, O'Sullivan has taken three, Ding one. Now stop this crap and play some good snooker! :smile:

[scottley]

That was massive pressure, well done Ding!

[Dani]

Ronnie you muppet. At 4-0 it would have been almost impossible for Ding to come back, but now he's still in with a chance.

[scottley]

Ding would not be missing these chances against any other player in the world! Let see if he can dish these 6 colours?

[itsnoteasy]

Jeez ,this is brutal.

[scottley]

Yeah, not a good sign.

[cyberheater]

I see the Ding twitch is in full flow.

[Dr_Doctor]

Now Ding... salvage this!

[scottley]

I never expected it to be this one-sided, its the Ronnie factor is all you can say.
