It was Xiao Guodong.


Was it? Sorry, how Dennis Taylor of me.

I remember being in Sheffield, and having a ticket to that but being unwell.

Ding cruising through this round as well, potential banana skin against Bond but not really a match worth worrying about.

Zhou Yuelong in a great position, would be great if he could get to the crucible.

Totally agree that Nigel Bond could be a 'banana skin' match for Ding - but, likewise I'd expect him to win through.

What could make Bond more difficult is if he's still decided to retire at the end of the season. It could be his last ever professional match after decades on Tour and he'd likely play with freedom and 'abandonment' with absolutely no expectation and nothing-to-lose...whereas Ding will be 'burdened' by the pressure of being so close to the Crucible.

I think Ding is only cruising because his opponent is so rubbish. I had the dubious pleasure of watching the last frame - his highest break was 25, running out of position all the time and still managed to win
