A while ago I said Ding still has one weakness, his mental strength, and someone on here told me I was crazy to say that after the fantastic season Ding's had. Looks like I was right. It's such a shame.

Come on Ding, get a grip!


It was me actually <laugh>

His weakness isnt't on the mental side anymore Holden, his main weakness is being able to maintain a high standard especially at the Crucible.

He's not maintaining a high standard because he gets frustrated. You can not play your A game all the time so you need to be strong mentally. This is still his weakness in my opinion. He almost looked like he was about to cry today. I like Ding, brilliant player, but not mentally strong enoughto win the worlds I think.

Ding has just played out of his skin there.
He is bothered by Wasley, immensely, Dont think wasley has missed the boat so far.

The run of the ball is mow going dings way.
Just these little things are enough to restore ding to pplaying his usual game.

But hey he missed the middle distance cut there

Wasley been hitting balls way to hard and not taking advantage of Ding frustration now Ding has stepped it up and looking like 10-3 at the moment but there's still hope for wasley to re group over night

Who's the old dude with the santa beard and medal that's consistently in the back of shot when Hazel is chatting to the ex-pros?

Also I've come to the conclusion Doherty will hit a purple patch and win the whole tournament, the prospect of having to sit next to Virgo, Taylor, Thorne or Parrot for hours on end should be enough to scare him into winning.

He's been in that exact same spot before. It's the same old faces every year.

Agree lucky <ok>

If I wanna watch that Ill go to Youtube FFS


There's no live snooker at the moment?

Also it's part of the 50th anniversary celebrations on BBC2, their highest viewing figures.

Still, it's been done to death. Only so much can be said about one final...

Hopefully this years final we being even more dramatic and gain even more viewers and then they'll shut up about '85.
