Trump struggling after his maxi...
It always seems to happen.

Decider between Higgins and Williams. Great.

Decider between Higgins and Williams. Great.

And Williams wins the match 5-4 after being down already 1-4. So Williams, who now plays Murphy, keeps his slim chance alive to qualify directly for the World Championship. While Higgins enters the years biggest tournament as World Number 6, meaning he is in the lower half of the draw, which is probably good news for him.

Ding's reply in Google Translate :-

19:30 today, the beginning of the game, 18:40 pm, I was on the way to the game, suddenly received the World Union's notice, said my personal sponsor Hengda gold clothes and sponsors of the tournament Beijing Bank's Chest standard is a conflict, asked me to remove the Hengda gold clothes chest standard. (I can understand can also cooperate with the previous case, are peaceful solution)

The beginning of the season, I first time to find the World Union to update the new season's main sponsor for the Hengda gold clothes, they have also entered the database, if the players need to replace the sponsor, 21 days before the report can be, such as Not reported, still automatically default to Hengda gold clothes. Even if you want to replace, there is a player in the time to prepare for the temporary notice? Is it just 50 minutes ahead of time to inform the players in the labor contract? Set the time to the players, so that players in advance to inform the sponsor, so that sponsors have the right to know nothing and the time to deal with things, so simple reason, no one understand?

18:40 the people of the country to get off work time, and I had no time to communicate with my sponsor, I had to temporarily decide to wear Hengda gold clothing debut, everything after the game after the communication. Even if I want to pay the price, I have to play the first game. When I stood on the player channel waiting for admission, was the World Federation of staff forced to stop playing the game.

The game is the life of the players, that moment I was crazy, the World Taiwan Union as a player's management unit, is not just a matter of money? Did not take into account the players before the mood and feelings, this is my most extremely angry.

Not very good translation there, BUT either way Ding is at fault and he or his manager should be aware of these conflicts and be able to adjust the sponsors logos to suit !

thanks aditl
don't you just love Google Translate :wink:
get the gist though, as WS stated they discussed with Ding's management before hand but had no resolution so then contacted Ding; but it does sound that he was waiting to start the match when stopped.
That was the poor part in my mind
cheers

Excellent. Didn't think that black was going in? Must be the favourite for Sheffield

[wake_up_bomb]

Nice to see Ding completely miscue there, I feel better about the 157 times that I've done that now.

A very enjoyable morning of snooker. :smile: I overslept, so I was stuck with whatever Eurosport were showing on their channel, and I fully agree with JimMalone that the choice was ridiculous. What's with this Trump week we are having? If he played someoone like Williams it would be fair enough, but once again they chose his match against an outsider over a more interesting prospect on paper. I am disappointed to have missed most of Higgins-Williams, but I guess I could have got up earlier and made sure I got to see it. :smile:

In any case, the Trump match turned out to be way more interesting than I expected. The maximum was a lovely break, and Tian's comeback was nice as well. He well may have completed it without that unlucky foul. :smile:

[Erwan_BZH]

a heck of a break from Judd!! He really digged deep to make it. The last black was awesome.

[Odrl]

A very interesting and high quality quarter-final line-up then, with only one real outsider. :smile: The Williams-Maguire final is still possible... :wink:

Probably just listening to much to his mate, I'm glad he was slapped down

The red at 40 is actually unbelievable, especially when he was nowhere close to winning the frame at that point.
