Selby is just so hard to watch or care about. And that head wobble. Ugh.

Hopefully Selby breaks Steve Davis' record margin of victory in the final. (Unless Hawkins performs a miracle).
Yes, for Ding to win he needed to keep that lead at the end of the first session. As soon as Selby got back level I felt Ding wasn't going to win.

Congratz Selby, deserved it in the end.
Boy Ding, you played a fabolous tournament, odd mistake here and there, fractions here and there, but you made the whole snooker world proud. You will win the WC one time for sure.
Higgins vs Selby. Could be a classic. Dont root for any1. May the best one win.

This was a really great match. A true epic. Gutted for Ding. Can't believe he played the blue like that. However well done Mark Selby.

Ding doesn't deserve the title in that he was awful against Wenbo, who should have beaten him.

Harsh mate Robbo was awful v Gould most of the match and won the title.

Yes, especially his safety play was very good. Put Selby under a lot of pressure and made him play a lot of difficult safety shots.

Very much so. All that support and backing from the crowd + BBC and he acts like that when he loses.
I can't imagine any other player in the draw acting that poorly to Selby after losing. Ding has gone down in my estimation.
