China Open 2014 - Discussion

What time did this session start?

I thought it was half one, was it half twelve?

Missed two frames by the looks of it.

They are at it now. 3-8 for Ding

[cyberheater]

Hard to believe really. How can you cover every single session of an event for 7 days and then not bother to show the final session?

I can sort of understand British Eurosport showing the Davis Cup tennis on Eurosport 2 (though you have to ask yourself how many people in Britain that want to watch the tennis would watch on Eurosport rather than BBC 1) but cycling? Would love to see the viewing figures for that!

I agree. It's pretty poor.

[stuartfanning]

Is it without commentary on Eurosportplayer? If so it means that the commentary on Eurosport tonight will be on a recording with the commentators already knowing the result!

[shredder]

Yes it is. No commentary.

And to Where's Willie's post: They're even showing a TAPED Bundesleague match. I mean, wtf, c'mon on now.

In other news, Robertson just stole a frame. 8-4 now. GO ON ROBBO!!!

9-4, man it's been one-way traffic, Ding is going to make history and with this sort of form he is favorite to lift the world championship trophy along with Ronnie. It is going to be a fascinating WSC.

[cyberheater]

Robbo's going to have to Selby Ding to win this.

For me, Ding has become the successor of John Higgins now. Just solid match snooker without doing anything flashy or stupid, and it's got him to six finals and probably five titles this season. If no one is playing really well in a tournament, it's mostly like going to be Ding that comes out on top, the way he is playing.

Now, does Robertson have any more fight in him? :smile:

[streamer45]

Well done Ding, terrific effort!

[cyberheater]

Well done Ding. It's a pity Robbo couldn't make it closer.

[coomsey76]

Well played Ding..... Shame Robertson wasn't quite at the races today!!

[Le Ball Sack]

Ding > Jimmy

[scottley]

Ding > Jimmy

Ding will win the World Championship one day, but it won't be until Ronnie retires, just my opinion though.

[Odrl]

Excellent win for Ding. He played his best when it mattered the most, early on in the final to take command of the match, and he never looked in trouble after that.

Robertson hasn't lost a lot of major finals in his career, and when he did lose in the past he was still able to make a match of it, but he was completely outplayed from the first ball today. It was still a great achievement to reach the final though, considering the troubles he had this week, and he must be confident ahead of the World Championship now.

Time for a bit of a break from snooker now, before the great finale.
