Nice to see Ding finding a bit of rhythm in this one. Shame no century but still.

You know I think I've probably misjudged JV. He seems to be firmly behind Ding at the moment, which suggests he tends to simply favour the guy who's trailing.

Well what a superb effort this is from Ding!

nice frame from Ding
doing what he needs to do

[snookerfran]

Excellent stuff from Ding here. Can't believe some of the shots he's pulled off, especially given the scoreline!

[WestHam1895]

Shame the interval is now, hopefully it will knock Mark a bit and Ding carry on. Hopefully..........

[MrRottweiler]

Good on Ding because I thought he was going off the boil.
Always good to have a guaranteed few frames after the mid session interval and seeing what the BBC has lined up for the break. I can see Ding coming out and taking the next few frames. If he gets in to that zone and doesn't let the occasion affect his potting Selby could be in trouble.

great response by Ding but he needs to win the next two really

[PatBlock]

Oh this final is just about all over. Congrats to both players...Selby well deserved winner. Sad to see Ding's tremendous fightback wasn't to be.

Really can't see a comeback from Ding and overtaking Selby..it hasn't happened during the 3 previous sessions, so he needs to play to an outerwordly standard now to have a chance.

Don't count him out just yet, he was 6 - 0 down remember.

I'm still behind Ding....all the way.

[cueboy777]

Didnt he propose there?? The large guy with the blond russian been there all week ?!

That was a lovely film about Davis, brought tears to my eyes. I was always a Higgins fan from the early 80's, but as I have grown up I have come to have the utmost respect, and love for Davis. Tremendous man, and a great, great player. Love him.

turning point in this final, Tottenham scores

Hear Hear. Brought tears to my eyes as well. Thank you for all the memories Steve!

Another touching tribute to Steve Davis and I need to buy a VHS player again so I can start recording all the mid session pieces the BBC make. Isn't it ironic that one of the most poker faced players turns out to be an emotional guy. I loved how he spoke of his dad's highest break being 58 and Steve talked him through every shot and the picture of him and his dad with two Rotties. I had Rotties and they are wonderful dogs.

The level of Snooker over the last few days has been the best I've ever seen and I actually like the longer frames where the players are having to call on everything in their armoury to win. The one break frames are good to watch but not very dramatic.
