Dafabet Champion of Champions Group 1 !!!!!!!!

I never said he should speed up Neil said it himself, maybe he doesn't feel fluent right now and a quicker pace may help.

If your fluant your fluant if your trying consciously to play quicker its not really fluant.


Robbo's problem throughout his career is listening to other people instead of playing his own game.

Bingham is playing at his best

I didn't say you did.

I was wondering why he'd feel the need to tweet that.

You predicting Bingham?

And more importantly, are you providing play-by-play for those of us not able to watch?

I'm on the fence, the travel / jet lag will be painful for Bingo. It wrecks your concentration.

I wish I could! However I'm hosting a conference for 400 delegates in Canary Wharf (eek!!)

Hendry popped in a max playing while jet lagged. Not saying Bingo is the same level of player as Hendry but jet lag affects everyone differently so you never know...

Good performance from Bing, once he got that break of 63 in the final frame the clearance never looked like happening for Neil.

Neil refused to take anything on at the start of that frame and it felt like a decider.

For those of us not watching, what's the actual score?

Bingham won 4:2.

Neil Robertson 2-4 Stuart Bingham

That can't even be described as a shock result - Bingo has recaptured his form.
But tiredness may catch-up with him in the group final tonight...we shall see!

Now it's Ding Junhui v Ali Carter....

point hendry

that thrashing from selby has destroyed dings confidence. from hero to zero.

Good stuff Stu-Robbo, think it was Angles who yesterday insisted on Stu'd chances here and rightly so.

ps probably already mentioned but I saw the goth girls

Those two make the Ronnie-Gould match look like a world class match.

Seeing a player like Neil really struggle is saddening.

I dislike when people like JV praise him for being a more 'complete' player nowadays. His potting and aggressiveness is his strong point, and I really miss that raw, unrefined potting when he first broke onto the scene.

I'll always agree that having some sort of an all-round game is important, but not at the expense of your greatest strengths.

Can't see any other result than Bingham destroying the winner of this match later on.

strange how some losses can destroy your confidence for so long

neil loss to murphy at the masters in 2015 followed by the crucible to hawkins. never looked the confident player though he won the CoC and the Uk last season.

ding after reaching the WC final and the victory vs selby in shanghai is in his slump again cause selby thrashed him in Daqin.

So, is it going to be Bingham vs Carter tonight?

This is a terrible match.

Ding on a break of 8.

Breaks down on 9.

Edit 1:Very scrappy but Ding takes it 2-2.

Edit 2: Better from Ding good 70+ break and he leads 3-2.

3-2 ding

*Obligatory shot of asian people in the crowd while Ding is playing.

Come on Ding.

Ding takes it.

DING - BING

Far from convincing performance and will have to improve greatly if Ding wants to reach the semis.

Ding Junhui 4-2 Ali Carter

Group Final:
Ding Junhui v Stuart Bingham

Should be a good match Stu v Ding, favour Bingo on this on evidence of his current form.

Their last match was 6 reds World Final, and Ding won it 8-7 on the final black.

Please call this match by it's proper name. This is Bing vs Ding.

Hendry bottom kissing moment from Foulds.
