I think Mark raised the bar for mental toughness here.

I may be mistaken but I am quite sure that there has never been a final where someone turned a 1-6 deficit with a 9-1 run into a win... and it's not like Ding really crumbled, he just got frozen out.
That was, pardon the pun, quite remarkable. Selbylike. Instant classic final IMHO.

If you need someone to crumble so you can make a comeback, you couldn't hope for a better opponent than Ding.

Probably true that, the Chinese players are great but they seem to lack heart and fight back quality ,and just get depressed when their opponent rattles of a few frames in a row .

Maybe Ding has no desire left considering his earnings till date.

Hendry won the Masters 9-8 from 0 - 7 down agains Mike Hallett.

He’s probably right saying that ,this Triple crown ,majors thing that the BBC started a few years is total bollox ,Hazel Irvine can’t stop going on about it .Masters is a tournament for the top 16 ,the Uk championship is a big event ,but that’s it .Just because Golf and tennis have majors the BBC are just trying to hype up a couple of events because they cover them .Tennis and Golf don’t have a world championship that is bigger than any of their majors and in snooker the Worlds is the one to win .Going back to the 80’s and early 90’s they didn’t call it tripple crowns and majors ,it’s cringe worthy .In fact when the BBC covered the British open they called it the big four ,when they lost coverage of that tournament it’s the triple crown .ridiculous.

It the most prestigiuous tournaments. The tripple crown winners are amongst the absoult best players ever.
