It would be rather nice to have Ding and Judd's best qualities.
Jack Lisowski was telling a story how Ding got straight off a 12-hour flight from China, rocked up in Sheffield, Jack said "Fancy a game?", Ding: "Yeah sure"...
*Jack breaks off*
*Ding makes 147*Favourite players: Kirk Stevens, Stephen Hendry, John Higgins, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Ding Junhui

I really hoped reaching The Crucible final would be a turning point for Ding. He has always struggled at that venue, and reaching the final would've given him the confidence. It was the one thing left to achieve for him, and he came his closest to actually doing it.
When he won the Shanghai Masters, I was thinking maybe Ding could really push on. But since then, he's starting struggling again.

As for Ding he has the game and its rather a lack of confidence and/or concentration I suppose. I hope that he can soon recover from his latest struggles.

Bingham has won 1 WSC
Murphy has won 1 Masters
It's not surprising at all to see Ronnie and Mark dominating but it is kinda surprising how much Ding and Trump have regressed in recent years.
If someone told me 5 years ago that neither would win one Triple Crown event, i would not have believed it at all.
