Aww, Mark just missed the red!

Looks like we may have to wait till another frame...

[ore]

5-0...

Wow I can't believe it!

Could bring minus points for some in fantasy game.

Edit: and he missed frame ball (or 1 before it) as I wrote that...

[Mr P]

Just this red needed for Mark.

[cally]

Very shocked tbh....

[Mr P]

Get in. C'mon Mark! Looks like a Selby vs Higgins second round tie is on the way.

selby just gave thumbs up - I guess to some disturbance in the crowd.
so yeah, someone is literally supporting ding
my guess would be there are some people anti-supporting selby, therefore, supporting ding

You always get a few idiots at Wembley, but the 1st round is usually pretty harmless.

What a chance Ding's missed again. Getting chances has not been a problem for him so far, but he hasn't taken any of them.

It's just not his day. Been a disappointing match so far..

is it just me or anyone else thinks they play rather negative and prefer safety to attacking shots?

yes at least a few times it seemed to be that it was possible to attack, but both chose safety... should be down to their feeling on how risky those shots were (they were not sitters) and where white (& red) could have ended up. i think it shows how seriously they take this match. well with selby you never know, but I think this time it was more of responsibility than some gamemanship or not feeling in a potting mood therefore going for safety. and the guy needs some earnings this season, seems pretty motivated

ding must be feeling awful - eg in 3rd frame he gave 2 such easy entries for Mark, who is not forgiving anything today so far.
