well done Mags badly needed that frame
now we surely will have fight in the evening session

[spike]

Match is nicely poised for tonight's session. Still think Ding will win 9-5..

[montoya10]

Ding rattled a very tough red into the bottom and Maguire did enough to win the frame..

Game on.. But Ding is still the favourite.. Not by a two-frame margin only, but also he seems to have a mental edge as well, which is very important..

[Odrl]

Important frame to win. You never know, things could turn around in the evening session, and he could put some pressure on Ding from only 3-5 down.

But if it continues like this, it's a 9-5 or a 9-6 win for Ding.

[missneworleans]

Maguire looked very nervous but got some control of himself there and after the break should be ok

[very.tee]

Well, I've seen the score so far and it looks like it's been quite a good match.

shame I haven't seen any of it

It seems like Ding's played really well, so Come On Ding for the final!!!

[missneworleans]

what a frame

[Odrl]

Hopefully the drama of this frame will set the tone for the rest of the evening.

[spike]

what a frame

It sure was..

[missneworleans]

Both struggling but great black from Maguire
this will surely affect ding

[montoya10]

Almost 5-5 now..

I can only say that the title is moving towards the winner of other semi final, with every mediocre shot played by this two..

[montoya10]

A torrid swerve from Maguire, he fouls and gives away 6 points..

Then Ding puts him back in play, and he flukes an outrageous blue to the middle pocket..

[missneworleans]

Unbelievable! Maguire will be qite a strong favourite now
Ding looked very good but he was really nervous in the last two frames

[dinovirus]

Jeezus, what a horrible way to play that escape on the blue! Why doesn't he just kick at it off one rail with a little draw/screw and check english? Craziness!

[spike]

I just hope Ding can keep his composure after losing that 10th frame. Will definately be a bodyblow for him. Needs to stamp his authority on this match again by taking this frame i feel..
