Out of interest, does Ding ever tap the table when his opponent plays a good shot? Don't think I've seen him do it.

He rarely does it you're right, but it doesnt mean he doesnt aprecciate his opponents shot.

ROS eventually gets on the board. Better signs from him this frame but still doesn't look like he can comeback at the moment.

I think, you're right, I've also never seen him doing it, even if he's snookered after a brillant shot of his opponent. However. I think, you were right with your statement before. Ding and Robertson are atm just the best players in the world, Ronnie is coming after that. Together with Selby but with the addition that Selby is in better form than Ronnie atm.

He will come out all guns blazzing after the MSI like Robbo did against Carter yesterday.
That's the only way really he can win this match, this frame was very important so still all to play for.

Yeah, was relieved too.
At 0:4 match surely had been over. Next frame after the MSI will be huge now.

Of course. I was just curious because it stands out compared to most other players.

3-1 isn't that bad. Ronnie fought hard in that last frame and played a lot better. Ding on the other hand missed a couple of crucial shots.

Solid. Sort of like Higgins or Selby when they're on their B game. Ronnie has been pretty poor until this last frame and quite unlucky it has to be said.

If this goes 6-2 or 6-1, should we count it as Ding bashing Ronnie up?

Think that's fair enough. I'm sure Witz would move the goalposts if it happened.

ROS messes up position on 63 but Ding plays a bad safety. 3-2.

Don't worry, I think Ding'll bottle it from here.

I wouldn't go that far, but it's definately very good signs for Ronnie, Ding though won't be too phased by this so Ronnie wil have to keep it going.

Ding deciding to go for it now. That very thin cut on that red and then that tricky green.
ROS in now.

ROS's luck turning. A few frames ago that red would've gone in off the split.

Where's GJ now with his donkey doo Ding v Robbo?
ofl
He only posts when things are going his way, when they aren't he goes AWOL...
Had Robbo lost yesterday on the pink we would never hear from him again this tourney and probably until UK Champs.
