Ding misses the brown on a break of 125 for a MAXIMUM
The brown wasn't hard but he just missed it. He was streching a bit though-

He always used to duck China quite a lot, as well. Even when there was only six ranking events.
You can point to the fact that he's won Chinese events in the past, too. But it's hardly just people jumping to conclusions.

Another good break, 79 from Xiao and he's now level at 3-3.
Ronnie done nothing wrong since the MSI.

There you are, Andre. Maybe you were right about Ronnie getting knocked out of this match.
Still doubt it though.

But to be fair I wasn't home all day yesterday so couldnt watch it. I'll post more in the afternoon the following days.
In my defence, I was round my parents. So I missed a frame of the Selby game, and then didn't really watch the afternoon apart from the odd changing the channels to see scores.
Not really sure how much of the tournament I'll see until the final, so I'm a bit part-time myself this week.

But don't forget, he's in decline.

I wonder what his strike rate is? Prob similar to the UK - he wins 1 in 5 tournaments or similar that he enters. There are just less tournaments in China.

Just took my nephew to a book signing at Selhurst Park stadium of some Youtubers called the Sidemen. There were thousands of people there. Crazy.
Now - the Ronnie show :)

Bloody hell Dan-Cat, that's only about a mile or so from my flat. Two miles, at most. I've walked it before to see football there.

Yeah Ronnie is playing well. He did nothing wrong for Xiao to level at 3-3.
Now 4-3 Ron.
