Ding only has one strategy and that's to not get embroiled in safety battles. If he does he loses.

This will pretty much decide the winner of this match IMO. Ding has to go for his shots.

Well, the bookies can't separate the pair! Most have them at the very same price, with a couple having Ding just shading it.
This will probably be the most watched final in history due to the vast Chinese audience - although the session times equate to 10pm and 3am over there. But, it'll probably be a National Holiday if Ding wins, so nobody will need to get up for work the next day!
Something I've just found out (but happy to be corrected) is that China, despite its size, only has one time zone!

Yes there is only one. It's crazy.

Very nervous, Ding can run through Selby if he plays poorly like he has been a lot this tournament...

That "2" being massaged by the cue is quite disturbing.

Everybody is making this out to be a Ding certainty. It's not.
Before this tournament started, we were saying Ding couldn't play at The Crucible.
Ding has had a few centuries. But one does not simply outpot Mark Selby. He's Selby.

It'll certainly be better than the Championship of Mars. I watched the highlights on YouTube - there just wasn't any atmosphere!
