no its fact im honest to say it was a horrible choke

even selby said he didnt play well to win

Why do they use bucking feet and inches for the long pots measurements?

Robbo is a mental titan though so if anyone can bounce back from it he can

AND HE HAS

COME ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

BBC now learning a bit with the Chinese channels and starting to show the distances between cue ball and object ball when long pots are on....

tough black

safe though

Ding scores his first point of the match. Let's see what he can do.

ding looks a shadow of his former self

TBH

Ding's safety has been pretty poor so far. Has to improve in all departments to stand a chance.

great safety robbo

Robbo back to his straight hair -do,i,ve always said,it,s amazing what a nice hair do does,he looks a lot better with straight hair.




The match has just started and Ding looks as though he,s lost the match already,terrible demeanour he has at times.

Hendo fan

Spot on Ding looks like a loser

Since he gave up tryin to copy Hendrys poker face,he,s never been the same since.

Ding completely outclassed tactically this frame.

2-0 Robbo

And the first Robbo fistpump appears...

Ding just isnt in robbos class

Ding's the type of player you want a good H2H against. If you have a run of a few matches against him, it buys you an easy psychological advantage when you next play.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You never know. A bit of run for Ding and some confidence could change things.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I can't considering Robbo's got two on the board now

6-2 is the best Ding can hope for

With the reds split I can't see Ding missing. No cannons to worry about and shouldn't be any reds into baulk pockets this time.

good one pad robbo 6-1 win

Ding closes to 2-1 with a ton.

Very early days to do some fist pumpin,i,ve never been a fan of that.
Many times it can go against you,we,ve seen it happen many times before that a players fist pumped and then ended up losin,Robbo is one of those very players!.

I think you are underestimating Ding, when he starts knocking a few breaks in, like he did with this ton, he can be very very dangerous. Don't get me wrong, I stil expect Robbo to win, but I can't see it being that easy as some of you are suggesting it will.

I remember Mark Allen too when he played against Higgins Worlds semi 2009, he fistpumped early in a frame just cause in knocked in a great red and was on a wave of some frames won without reply, and in the end he missed the next shot and never seemed to recover from that.
