Did he crack a smile?!?

Anyway, he reduces to 5-4.

It's unbelievable! And it wasn't like he just wanted to make sure of the frame, he was on 90+ points

WTF DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.


HOW ON EARTH DID DING NOT REALISE HE WAS ON A 147,AND THAT AFTER THE 13TH RED,INSTEAD OF PLAYIN FOR THE BLACK,HE ENDS UP PLAYIN FOR THE BLUE,HE THEN REALISES,WHAT HE,S DONE!.



Sometimes i think i,m not with it,but this is just insane!!.

DING was on a 147 but did not realise it until the crowd groaned

Good.

It shows how focused he is. All he cares about is winning frames and the match. Stuff like 147s can come later.

That incident was just as memorable as a 147

Both playing great this morning, this could end up being a cracking match

That's what I want to hear!!

Plus Steve Peters is also around so

Yes I heard that too.... Brilliant.


ps. I'd recommend Dr Steve Peter's book The Chimp Paradox to anyone who wants to get a grip on their own mind / ego misfires / pre-learned behavioural patterns that stymie your life - the proof is in the pudding: Ronnie.

Of course everyone makes mistakes and does strange,silly things sometimes,but that was just nuts.

at one point he seemed to know he was on it, then he faded out of the moment and went up for the blue......absolute crazy stuff.

Anyway I have captured his face when he laughs it off, will post it later.

Good point.

Absolutely Armchair,that makes it even more bizarre.

Meanwhile Day is leading 2-0 and is on a break of 30 in the third frame

Allen going out wouldn't surprise me the slightest, he only won 1 match at the Crucible since 2011.

Before the match started,i though Allen would beat Day,and even though Days 2-0 up,i,m stickin with my prediction.

I don't know about you guys, but I absolutely love these first round matches at the Crucible.

10am

Ding Junhui 6-5 Mark Davis
Mark Allen 1-3 Ryan Day

I enjoyed them all Except Selby's.

Any chance of Ding and Davis finishing their match in this session?

If Ding can win 10-5 or 10-6 I would say yes, otherwise if it gets closer they will be pulled off.

Allen on his way to level the match 3-3

Ding and Davis have gone off the boil a bit. It's quite scrappy now.

Looks like Day is already gone mentally.

Mavis strikes back - 6-6
