    Yeah absolutely Ding is playing much better, especially since the start of the second session. But isn't just Ding though... Mark played well enough to compete with anyone in this 1st round and for 2/3 of his second round but in this match he is just total ****e. If he were a younger inexperienced player you might say he has bottled it. It will be interesting to see how he explains this performance after the match.

      I wonder if that's got anything to do with the early exit of a certain Mr O'Sullivan.

        I doubt it. I rather think he found his groove early on (he also started the Trump-match good) and as he saw that Williams didn't show any resistance Ding got fully relaxed and could play easily.

        On the other table: I don't think I've seen Selby ever play as badly as in this first half of this session.

        • Wilson/selby just seems to be a contest of you can play the least bad. Very disappointing.

          • 7 - 5 now and Selbys playing awfull. He had all chances to take the last frame. Maybe the match is open again.

              Yes that's true enough, but as someone else on here said, I think Ding is still harbouring a demon or two when it comes to Ronnie and I'd be surprised if his departure hasn't given him a bit of a lift.

              • Why did Selby go for the difficult red ? Wilson was already needing snookers, so why free that ball.

                • 8 - 6 to Selby now. A spirited fight back from Kyren Wilson. For Williams the only thing left is avoiding to be beaten in two sessions.

                            Ding just finished it. 13-3.

                            • gutted about that. I think that tip issue really ruined what should have been a great game. Massive disappointment.. I feel sorry for the people that have bought tickets for the 3rd session of that match!

                              • That could be important for Ding to have a free day tomorrow. He's played a lot of snooker and I'd fancy either Selby or Higgins to beat him in a tight, draining struggle unless he's fresh.
