Against Doherty wasn't it Vodka?

Anyway, for Ding to stand a chance he'll have to come out all guns blazzing and not allow King to dictate the pace of the match too much, by going for his shots and for course getting them. Easier said than done, but that's what he got to do really, and hopefully have a 2nd session like Dotty had against Murphy, though 9-7 behind wouldn't be bad of course and leave things nicely poised.

10-6 behind and he leaves himself with too much to do, but still possible. Anything worse than that and King would really have to completly collapse for Ding to stand a chance.

Yes. It was a good match. King led 6-2 after the first session. Doherty led 9-7 after the second session, and 12-9, before winning 13-12.
