He's already in the top 10 of career ranking titles and one of only 22 players to win 2+ Triple Crown events, and he's not yet 30 years old.

Yes he's had a good career. If he wins a World title he'll have an even better career. And if he wins 2 he'd probably be regarded as an All-time Great.

Same for Ding.

So 5:0 Wilson in other words.

Wow - didn't know that...


There are some crazy H2H's. Mags for instance did beat Milkins for the first time yesterday. The H2H was like 5:0 in Milkins favour.

That's another mad one.

I would have guessed that would be 75:25 in Maguire's favour

Wow. Couple of crazy H2Hs there.

Yes. Same with Michael Holt. Ronnie just leads the H2H 5:4 with Holt winning the last three matches.

If Ding loses to Duane Jones well... he should be beating these kind of players with ease... but this has been the case since 2014...

He cant be consistent anymore...

From Ronnie's book Running:

"Some players you can watch and enjoy and think: 'You know what, I'm getting a pasting here, but I've got the best seat in the house'...but then I'm playing Mark King and there's nothing good about watching him play. He probably knows he's a hacker...He's got no touch...Everything he does is wrong; the way he stands, the way he holds his bridge hand, the way he flicks it in, there's nothing smooth about the way he plays."

Ronnie is correct.

Honest Ronnie. To be fair, he did have some nicer things to say as well that I omitted because they were not on topic...

I think the reason is pretty obvious. King's a master at messing the table up and frustrating opponents.

That's not a criticism by the way, I like the guy.

I have not read the book so should not have made the comment.

Apologies


It's the section of the book where he explains why he put the towel over his head during the match with Mark King several years ago.

tbh, I don't think it even bothers him when he loses this kind of matches in those kind of tournaments. I think all he wants is to win the World title and I can even see him retire early.

I think Foulds once said that Ding earns so much money in China and he doesn't even need to play Snooker. I think he has a point. I don't think Ding is really up for Snooker.

Ronnie said something about this last year, too. Something about Ding having fancy cars and lots of money and not caring much about snooker...
