Wouldn't be surprised if Ding lost 6-1, 6-2 tonight. His confidence is shot, can't win scrappy frames. Watch his right eye twitch, it's a sign of pressure.

He's put weight on, there's something wrong in his world for sure. Just the best touch of anyone, he could cream my D test first attempt. Painful to watch this talent struggle, doesn't seem right somehow. But Bingo has really deflated from the worlds, maybe the pressure of the tag has got to him? It could be a scrappy affair. I'm going for a Ding win by a frame. lol

Not so long ago he looked like he had lost a lot of weight.
Feeling a bit for Ding these days, pressure is only gonna get higher as the other younger Chinese dudes start to come through.

Incredible to see Murphy loses this 6th frame.....It surely costed him the match!

PS: Allen really needs to hit the gym......

In actual fact Ding has lost weight but his face is round which makes him look fat.

Shaun Murphy just lost frame 6 by missing the red three times in a row when he could see other reds on very unfortunate for The Defending champion

Unfortunate ? you mean STUPID

Yes he has, looks a bit too trim in fact.

Commentators state he has a new cue too, only used it for about 4 months.

Looking scrappy already, this match. So he had a Stamford he was happy with, why did he ditch it and what is he playing with now?

Dunno re the make of cue, they didnt say - for obvious reasons.

Yep scrappy indeed, both nervy.

Surprised he's had it four months and no-one on here has discussed his cue. lol
Can't believe there are spare seats, I thought it would sell out.

I think it's well known he has been ordering cues from every maker, or at least his manager has

it was discussed that early last year (?) Ding was getting cues made by many makers*
not sure what he is currently using


*then it was noted that his manager started "Ding cue for sale"


edit- snap JRC

Crikey, a Stephen Lee trick. But Ding's cues were probably delivered. A-hem.

Ebony over ash one piece? Classic.
