Absolutely, in the 5 franmes Ding won in the opening session which i sadly missed but will watch it later since I recorded it, Ding made 4 tons!
Hendry's record is 7 also in a Bast of 19 match, the 1994 Uk final against Doherty.
Ding is surely a man capable of equalling if not beat that with his breakbuilding capabilities, although somehow doubt it'll happen here cause the pressure is bound to get to both players in this 2nd session.

By the way Boblewo, you're new here, so I ask you how long have you been folowing snooker?
In Brazil you obviously have Igor Figueiredo who's easily the best player from your country, a shame he can't quite get his sponsors and so on to establish himself on the tour.

Not so long ago, I started in 2010, when I followed (and start to supporting) Graeme Dott until since his first game until the final
I'm not an expert in snooker, but I love the game, and always try to know more

The longest frame of the final, almost 50 minutes I think closely followed by the time it took the first frame of this final, some odd 45 minutes, Fu reduces to 6-5.
The pace has slowed down a bit, and Fu had to somehow stop the rot with that barrage of tons from Ding. Fu too is capable of making big breaks, but at the moment he is just hanging on and trying to stay in touch with Ding otherwise he may run away with it.

What happened with Ding's 92? Was it a clearance or did he miss the chance for another century?
Ding is just
at the moment

What a match this is! Ding might break Hendry's century record and still lose the match! That's how good Fu is playing.

Yeah, this frame the total opposite to the last one, Fu making a ton
of 104, 147 chance no less
These 2 have made between them 7 tons in this match, 5 from Ding, 2 from Fu, just 1 shy of the record in a match combining 2 players.

Oh yes take nothing away from Fu. He's playing brilliant stuff. So so unlucky not to get the max, the last cannon was absolutely perfect but rattled the 14th black

Fu leads 7-6 with another bg break, a 71.
Like SO said, Ding could even equal or beat Hendry's record of tons in a single match and still lose, given how well Fu has been playing, now winning 3 frames in a row to lead this match.
I think it has a decider written all over it, and it would be the icing on the cake for this match, it deserves one.

In Brazil the pool games are very very populars, almost every bar around here have pool tables.
But the type of game is almost never snooker, but other types.
To the brazilian cue sports fans Igor Figueiredo is one of the biggest name, but yet still less known than Rui Chapéu

7 all, Ding levels with a 60 odd break.
What an amazing match this has been, easily the best of the season so far.

Has a player ever lost a best of 17 or 19 ranking final making 5 or more centuries?

8 all, decider looking more and more like a reality now
Don't quite know the answer to that question SO, I would say that no, no player has ever lost a best of 17 or 19 making this amount of tons, but it may have happened somehwere in the past.

I'm pretty sure that's never happened. There have only been a couple of instances where a player has made five centuries in a final, like Hunter against O'Sullivan at the Masters in 2004 (although not ranking, of course), and they've always won.
O'Sullivan did lose a best-of-19 against David Gray in the 1st round of the WC though, making five centuries in the process.

Let me just re-phrase that... I mean a "normal" two-session final of course. Stephen Hendry did make five in the World final when he lost to Doherty, I think.
