I have to favor Ding for the title, what an amazing display of snooker he's put on this event :hatoff:

I can't recall an event in the last decade where one player holds more tons than the rest of the field combined :dizzy:

Still, some talented players left who're more than capable of running hot and shutting Ding down.... :chin:

I have to say I'm not a big fan of the short format, especially for the final event. The players go the whole season with the short format, couldn't they extend the races for the last event? :shrug:

The funny thing is,even though the last 4 men standing have gotten this far in this tourney,they still have to win 2 matches to be crowned the Champion,there semi-final and of course the final!.




Would be nice to see that sour faced kangaroo Robbo gettin kicked out. :-D





Since there,s no more Scots,no Selby,no Murphy,no Ebdon,no White,no Thorburn left in this tourney,i,ll support the Chinese for once. ;-)



Come on Ding!!.make some history and rattle in another *147*!. :happy:

Ding really likes the UK/Ireland doesn't he? Just noticed except for his first tournament win in China, all his other trophies are from UK/China. Even his tp PTCs titles are all British, despite Scotland pretending to be mainland Europe for one event.

He looks to be favourite here going by form, but today's a new day and in snooker, it's more likely the guy playing the best snooker throughout the week doesn't win.

" but today's a new day,...." <ok>


Exactly Skullman,todays a new day and everyone knows how ones form can come and go,one day a player could be knockin in BIG breaks and some centuries,the next they could be strugglin to even shoot a 50+.


One of the main ingredients to bein one of the best,goin far in tourneys and even winnin them on a regular basis is bein able to keep your good form going and be as consistent as possible,makin sure you score heavy when in,of course it,s easier said than done but it for sure can be done.




The likes of Davis,Hendry,Ronnie,Higgins,Williams,Selby have shown us all how it,s done,can be done,they bar Selby were for a very long period way more consistent and scored much heavier than the rest of the crop,it,s no luck and no coincidence that these players are the top of the all time crop!.




Selby still has time on his hands to grab some silverware as well as Ding,Robbo,maybe Trump and Allen have too.



Ding like the other 3 players left in this tourney still have 2 more matches to win to be able to get there hands on silverware,still a bit to go yet!.



Come on Ding,keep your good form goin,it,s time for you to pick up some Silverware!. :happy:

Robbo is a flat-track bully. He'll beat the lower ranked journeymen, dullards etc but as soon as he comes up against anyone decent he gets found out, hence why he's won nowt for ages. <ok>


*ahem* Ronnie in a final. Ding Junhui in a final.
