i don't know if im going crazy here, but to me ding seems more dynamic looking fresh and fitter.

What a spectacular positional shot from pink to yellow! It didn't fall, but it is enough to make it 2-0, though

[johnno147]

it's oh so easy when the frame is safe.

If...

you didn't recognize either Ding or Stephen and someone said one guy is ranked No. 13 and the other No. 2...

Would you guess which was which correctly?!?!

Ebdon is not the dark horse. We're all wrong. The dark horse is Ding. He is hitting the ball a lot better than he had been in the last couple of years..

[Matt_2745]

Impressive stuff from Ding so far, been impressed with him since he came back to beat Wenbo in Sheffield.

That said I would prefer Maguire to win this but he'll have his work cut out.

[Elaine]

great to see Ding playing so well
Maguire really hasn't done too much wrong in this match

[johnno147]

excellent play from ding if he keeps this up theres no reason he couldn't claim this title.

[montoya10]

Breaks of 80,52,57 and 74...

Really impressive break building by Ding

King v Milkins must surely have the fans flocking to see this match. Not a fan of eitherplayer but would prefer Milkins to win so as we don't have to put up with King wasting a top 16 spot again.

But someone have put a note down saying he reached the last 16 in 8 out of 11 in the recent times That is a tough statistic to beat, though I can't remember him making the QF's in any of those events..

He keeps getting dodgy draws like Mcleod at the Crucible and just keeps getting his points for winning his first round.

By the way, does anyone see a World No. 55 looking at Milkins
