Wow...how much does Walker remind me of a young John Higgins! His general way and mannerisms, his whole demeanor around the table, the way he plays his shots. Incredible! He even seems to have the same color outfit. And a pretty good snooker player as well

I thought that as wll, his face red with concentration when down on some shots too.

Exactly. Absolutely amazing to see...he is a dead ringer for Higgins. Never thought I'd see the day

Edit : could maybe get a 2-0 lead here...holding himself well against Ding.

[DG GIBERT]

It is John Higgins he has entered twice under another name to Increase his chances of winning.
Could get awkward if he meets himself in the final.

Ding is now down 3-1 and fighting to win this.
An easy missed black off the spot allowed Ding a chance
and he took it. Come on Ding.

I'm really surprised the commentators haven't picked up on that. The resemblance is uncanny.

Wow. Walker has beaten Ding. Another shocker. Although I think Daffie will disagree with that statement

[robertmac]

Ding is out. He didnt have his game and is struggling
to find the form he had in the past year. A tough loss
as he needs wins to get some confidence and form back.

You bet yer butt I do Well played Walker!

I want to know what your definition of a shocker is then?

...when an unknown player named Walker beats the former no. 1 named Ding

Edit : just having a bit of fun of course...

LOL. Indeed.

What an amazing result for the part time player. Ding didn't even play bad. Walker just froze him out.

Well done Ahmed Saif for finally winning your first match in your professional career.

Good for him indeed! Eurosport went AWOL again, so I didn't get to see it. Back at 20h for the evening coverage...

Never realised Pinches does the same thing as Allen with the way he sort of pokes out his jaw to one side on the shot.

Pinches has a VERY special technique
