Look at that roll off!

with respect Randam your not at their standard and Brand New cloths are more generous than the cloths you played on at the Academy

buck's sake, Ding really doesn't have his head screwed on today. Going for that yellow was silly.

Is it part of your calorie-controlled diet?

Neither Ding nor Ronnie playing well atm. Bet whoever came up with the 1 v 128 idea is glad. A tougher lower ranked pro would've punished them.

Rhys looks very nervous. Can't seem to stay in good position when he gets in.

Looks like Ronnie has settled in a rhythm of sorts. 3-0.

Max alert ROS. Only on 41 atm but seems like he's going for it.

Not this time. Snookered himself on the black, missed the pink and given Rhys Clark a chance.

I wouldn't say the Ding and Ronnie matches are good examples why we need the flat draws.

It's not the flat draws but rather the strict 1 v 128 seeding structure that Ding and Ronnie's matches show the weaknesses of.

The standard has been a bit low, hasn't it? Or it has been in this Ding match.

At present we got Ding playing so badly, he'd lose to anybody else. The fact that Parsons, who won't be used to the television cameras and isn't playing himself took a frame off Ding before the MSI really shows how poorly Ding is playing.

Ding wouldn't play like this against a top player
