The Masters Jan 11 - 18, 2015

And Ding's right eye is twitching as well !

I see Joe is starting his eyebrow exercises

[PatBlock]

Yep, that's gotta hurt. And Joe in with a reasonable chance for 5 - 2 now...

Another lesson to all those players who concede frames when they only need a couple of snookers. :wink:

It really can happen to anyone... Only this week we've seen Higgins, O'Sullivan, Ding and Trump losing frames when their opponent needed snookers. :smile:

With a re-spotted black! :encouragement:

You read my mind :snooker:

...and this is now shaping up nicely for us...should be 3-3. Edit : not so fast can Perry still pinch this?! He can! Wow...incredible! Ding's eye-twitch just got a whole lot worse

[DeanH]

When was the last time Ding has done well in a triple crown tournament?

2011 winner Masters
2011 UK semi-final
2013 WSC quarter-final

the best since has been last 16 across these

So far a pretty decent match-up between Ding and Perry. Some good potting and some mistakes...just how I like my frames Hoping for a tense and dramatic final frame decider tonight.

The audience can really irritate me at times. Why did they just applaud Joe Perry getting rid of a fly?

Why?? Why would you applaud that?

[Billy]

Ding doesnt have the same intensity as he had
last season. He appears almost disinterested
or out of focus lately.

Agreed. I love watching Ding, but his mind just doesn't seem to be on the job of late.

Yes what a blow that must be for Higgins after
scoring so heavily in several frames.
I am hoping Ding is in form and advances.

[cyberheater]

How can someone score nearly 4 centuries in a first to 6 match and lose. It's unbelievable.

[armstm]

Am gutted for Higgins - he's clearly suffering from age decline where he's still brilliant mostly but inexplicable errors creep in. Very frustrating
