Yes, but at the same time, he has less chance of beating Ronnie than Hazel Irvine does. Let's be honest.

Cuetracker gives Ding a 43.9% chance of beating Ronnie. It's hard to know what to expect from the The Rocket these days. He hasn't played well this season so far...

Nope he was 3-1 down and won 2 in a row to get it back to 3-3, which match were you watching?

if you only look at H2H stats you'd think so but he has had wins over him and they came in big matches. Its a rare thing but maybe tomorrow might be that day.

True, I guess.
I thought I could die, wait until my corpse had rotted and still have a much bigger chance of beating Ronnie at The Crucible than Ding did. But Ding managed that...
And yes, I know I take the snake hiss out of Ronnie fans for not believing he'd win matches. But he's the GOAT, with six world titles. Ding's head to head with Ronnie isn't good enough to inspire confidence.
