He will lose to Williams haha so then you just need to get the semi and finalist wrong and you've broken the record

Yeppers. Nobody is really speaking of him winning it but i think he'll go close this year. Though Selby in that form i doubt he'll handle.

Ding at his best vs Selby at his best, no contest for me.

to be honest pound for pound over the last 5 years Selby has been more impressive than Ding but hes been unable to maintain it.

if both play to their best Selby will win.

Ding at his best would dismantle Selby, Ding is better in every department and has the 3rd best all round game in snooker: after Ronnie and Higgins.

I'm not going to tempt fate by going on about Selby but I will say that a lot of losses have been hard to take because he makes players raise their games to beat him and the result is I've definitely seen players play better against him than other top players. That could be fanboy glasses though but not many would've coped with Williams and Trump in the German and China finals this year, I don't think anyone would disagree with that.

I'm gagging for Selby to get the final because in the pub with Mr Snookerbacker himself, he asked the question "So who is going to beat Judd this year?" and I said "Selby" and he said "Will you shut up about Selby?!!!!"

I answered the question he posed

He was a Carter picker though, so

The World Championships bring out the fanboy in all of us. I love it!

andreiolay212 - I was front row in Ding's opening match and I watched him at close quarters.

Ding is a bucking sensational snooker player.

Absalute bucking bullocks

Bingham vs Mcleod final?

Selby has got the better of Ding in all recent big matches. I'm not tempting fate though, Ding is well capable of winning the Worlds. I just think it would be a travesty if Selby never won it.

Ding Junhui & Judd Trump will win more World Titles than any player in this draw with the exception of Stephen Hendry. They may not better Sullivan or Higgins on three, but I certainly fancy them to level with them (unless of course one of them adds another this year).

If Selby does not win it this year, I don't know if he'll ever be a World Champion. And yes, that WOULD be a travesty. With the exception of Jimmy White, he is the best player not to have won the World Championship.

I am quietly confident on Selby. Let's just leave it at that for now

You don't know the Snookerbacker? He's been a member here for a while, pops in every now and again. His website has taken off big time in the snooker world.

I disagree but you very very rarely get two players playing at their best in the same match anyway, at least in the same session. That's again why the longer-formats are the best, gives each player a chance to find their best form at some point in the match.

its still bullocks trying to say Ding has played to a higher level than Selby over the last 5 years because hes not even got close.

Ding and Trump got years on their side but theres no guarantee they will win even one...

over the next few years maybe Lisowski and Brecel even will steal their thunder.....who knows ?

A new day, a new Murphy avatar

Why isn't Sonny joining in with this aviator madness

Rory will get hammered in this match no doubt about that but Bingham will push ding close i think

You are wrong there Wild boy. Ding has 3 major titles, several ranking events and made 100 centuries in less frames than Ronnie did and possibly Hendry.

Ding is a convertor, Selby is ... not.
