He's just jealous about how close he got to Higgins.

Wow!,John indeed shows the young pretender how it,s done,gives him a bit of a spanking.Wins 6 frames on the spin,in his 6-2 win. :happy: :cracker: :party:



John indeed played very well tonight,in all depts.He certainly made up for the 2 easy blues he bottled in frame 1 n 2.



He rattled in breaks of 90,83,78,75,61,55 and 52.

I agree but the thing is Yan is even more boring to watch. And his AST in this match is 31 seconds so far.

ASTs are always slower when you’re struggling so it’s not a surprise that he’s that high.

I don’t find Yan boring to watch because he’s unorthodox.


He is pretty slow in most matches. Usually in the mid to late 20's.

Oh yeah I’m not pretending he’s fast! Just saying 31 seconds is slow even for Yan because he couldn’t get going.

I just dont find him an exciting player. Unorthodox yeah. But if a more established or older pro played like Yan most people here would definitely call him boring.

You could say Ding lacks Yans mentality but Yan also lacks Dings ability.

Still Laurel & Hardy.

You can watch without comms on the player


I treat commentary like sex, I take what I can get.


I approach it as mini-sessions - but that’s more an age thing :sad:

Yan had a bad day he had no answers for Higgins tonight it happens no big deal as for Yan the player hes not a negative player his aggressive shot choices that did not come off cost him 2 or 3 frames and allowed Higgins to dominate.

Mentally and peak level wise he is as good as anyone but I doubt he'll ever become a regular winner and get to lets say Trump or Robertson level. Always lacked the consistency and he's already a pro for 16 years so highly doubtful he can change much from here.
