Oh Ding. What have you done!?

Doesn't want to win by the look of it

Has it been that boring a match then, as I only caught the tail end of the fourth frame.

[JimMalone]

Ding seems to lack confidence. He plays quite defensively. He should better win the two last frames in this sessions.
Would also be better for the match, which for me was by far the most interesting of the secound round.

Not at all imo...pretty entertaining so far.

Heard Willie banging on about Ding's big tip, has he got a new cue then ??

Ding seems to lack confidence.

This seems to be pretty much it, in a nutshell. Don't really know what's happened to him. The pressure and expectations from billions of fans I suspect.

[Dr_Doctor]

Nice one! C'mon Ding!

Would be really interesting to know how this started after last season that was pretty successful with the exception of the World Championship of course.
At the end of the last frame he seemed to start to feel a little bit better.

Ding is only down 5-3 which isnt unusual for
many players to need time to get on track.
We will see tomorrow how this match goes
and hopefully Ding can win many frames.
I would expect Dott and Allen to do well
tomorrow and their matches should be good.

A good evening of snooker again. :smile:

Ding has often been a slow starter in recent times, but tonight he limited his losses quite well again, so I expect him to keep it close for the rest of the match. Higgins will probably be a little disappointed not to push on from 5-1 up, but the goal was probably to win the session, and he's achieved that. He looks pretty confident at the moment and playing well enough to win this match, so it's up to Ding to raise his own game. :smile:

[robertmac]

Ding could certainly use a victory here to raise his
confidence level and its really up to him to remain
focused and play his own game.
Higgins must be concerned to lose a 4 frame lead.
Tomorrow is a new day.

[PatBlock]

McGill carrying on where he left off, matching Selby with his safety game and pulling out a cracking long pot to get in for a frame-clinching break. And he's in again after another long pot. Could be a classic this...

Selby's long pot success only at 31% , not sure what his average is but that seems very low .

Great play from McGill
