ROS v DING

[Semih_Sayginer]

well, potentiall one of the best first round matches has started.

jan verhaas is the referee, and Ding leads 33-1 in frame one

is "everyone" watching this match, or the other one around the "wall"?

[Semih_Sayginer]

first frame to ROS

both look to be cueing well, with a couple of shots slightly out of position...

Watching one on each montor acutally. Quite a good start to this potentially cracking match.

I'm watching both but concentrating on "the one around the wall"

ROS pots a red to take a 50-0 lead in frame 2, but cannons the black onto the cushion so plays a safety off the brown.

DING hots the reds, but ROS pots the only one he can then plays safe.

the remaining 6 reds are clustered and the pink is near the yellow spot....

(im in chat ell, if you want.......)

[Semih_Sayginer]

ROS looks very focussed.

those of us who thought the game may be tight will be totally wrong if ROS keeps cueing like this..

2-0 to ROS

100% pot success rate for ROS so far

no problem, oh mad one.

ROS leading 48-1 in frame 3 and at the table...a few more pots to be past snookers required, so looks like itll be 3-0

[Skypigeon]

soon to be 4-0, poor Ding!

[Semih_Sayginer]

3-0 to ROS

safetey exchange in frame 4. ROS leading 11-4

(commentary in chat for those unable to watch)

[Ekphantos]

What's Ding's problem? The Crucible or O'Sullivan? He clearly looks out of sorts....

[Semih_Sayginer]

ROS took an early lead in frame 4 and DING seemed determined to try to pot his way out of trouble. he failed and let ROS back in...

ROS built on his lead but in-offed on a blue

current score is 64-23 to ROS

3 reds left

DING at the table

[Semih_Sayginer]

4-0 to ROS

very good solid session from him.

DING unable to get going........

Good to see Ronnie playing like that, very concentrating on his game, though of course would be more interesting if Ding can get the match closer - I'm sure he'll try to do that. So far seems a bit desperate that his game isn't good enough.

oh, and nice to watch Davis coming back too
