You could see Ding was up for this. Still plenty left in the tank yet

[@hristodarakchiev]

I love the commentary of Alan McManus, he is always so appreciative of the good shots and the Scottish accent makes it even better.

[@jme2261]

He's my favourite commentator. His snooker knowledge is great.

[@MetteC5]

Absolutely, he has a fantastic snooker brain and I love how he anticipates the shots, explaining the different options.

[@user_name_7845]

Me too. The other guy is awful. My favourite is Dominic Dale

[@schmurgen5242]

Brilliant commentator.

[@georgehagi4703]

​@@jme2261he and stephen hendry so passionate

[@janekptasznik44]

Brawo, Ding! Super sportowa postawa na koniec meczu z obu stron :)

[@Baggy007]

Well done DING great win 😁

[@milnerman2707]

Go on ding

[@alexanderhall4281]

Great Ding...well played.

[@joseantoniocamachoramos635]

Grande Ding, una gran persona.

[@Pierre3513]

Looks like Ding needs to catch cold or flu more regular playing like that…..

[@adrianwright8685]

Like watching Ding play but wish he didn't appear to be so miserable most of the time: as though he's just been informed his father's died, his wife's left him and he's got lung cancer.

[@aaronmeyler8838]

Your sick in the head do you know that, it's because his dog has just died and they are harder to skin and wonton once rigor mortis sets in you heartless bastard

[@AlanBrown-d8w]

I know what you mean I think a lot of the Chinese players are the same no personality 😢

[@uzimakinaruto928]

Fr bruh everytime I saw his face I was like wtf happened to him😂

[@Zeit_waise]

@@AlanBrown-d8wmaybe tune down the racism a little bit … 🙄

[@JayeshPatel-ct5ps]

As opposed to Ronnie "face like a smacked arse" O'Sullivan.

[@enkaan1676]

Go on Ding . Enter the Dragon

[@dermotspollen]

That red to the middle looked like it hit the back of the midde pocket and just cane out again strange. Good match well done ding

[@Nancy13Mitten99]

No Idea about professional snooker. He was in two minds and that's why he missed it! And the red did not hit the back of the pocket!

[@the_alchemy_method]

It caught the near jaw. He wasnt committed to the shot and was a little indecisive there.. mind could have got stuck in the future and consequences regarding balls bouncing out of the pocket… this kind of thing rarely ever happen on a pro table but if it does its sometimes its related to the pocket setup those leathers can be adjusted in height and underneath theres a metal frame. So effectively the object ball can connect with it if the pocket is not set at the right height. Also a bad contact caused by poor cueing can also have an effect which can make the object leave the bed of the table so it’s literally bouncing

[@Dave-wh3hw]

Hit the near jaw of the pocket,was never in

[@Nancy13Mitten99]

What is James even going on about! Blatant bad miss under pressure. In two minds maybe. Should have taken the easy red over the pocket!

[@JamesMc2051]

It hit the near jaw. If you look where he's left the white (not on the pink very well) then it looks as though (slight aiming apart, with the object ball sent slightly left of where desired, which would account partially) he's played it a bit too hard because look where the white ends up. That's a common thing under pressure. Everyone's done it.

[@richardlinks558]

allen bottled.

[@Nancy13Mitten99]

That's why they call him the Antrim bottler who will never win a World title 🏆

[@chaingangsoldier3100]

Yeah I agree, he should never have missed that red to the middle!

[@dermotspollen]

No one calls him the Antrim bottler so pipe down

[@Nancy13Mitten99]

On a serious note he didn't bottle it. He was in two minds. That was Stephen Hendry biggest downfall as a pro. Couldn't make your mind up which shot to play!

[@AlanBrown-d8w]

Really 😂😂

[@captainross4706]

Ding is the canon master, so good at those delicate cannons

[@sadiquemunian3105]

Statistically speaking ding is a better player than Allen, ding has won 14 ranking titles in comparison to Allen’s 9 RT.

[@castropianoforte]

Unless Ding is from Hong Kong, his surname would be pronounced JunHUAY.

[@alanread4763]

Ding Dong 👍

[@PlayMoreGolf-RipOff]

Oooh it’s DINH DONG PHOOEY

[@JeremiahLong-b7r]

Have you never seen Maguire, Allen, and about 40 more,, at least he didn't cheat like some of the other Chinese.

[@Essydyk]

What a Ding Dong match that was.

[@nihatalbay7056]

Mark allen out 👎👎

[@UAintOnNuin]

Might sound stupid but I thought mark was from England but the flag shows otherwise?😂

[@crosscourttennis1796]

He's from Northern Ireland

[@medved5925]

Not their best battle. Many mistakes from both. Mark was a bit better, but anyway, congratulations to Ding, big win for him.

[@Nancy13Mitten99]

Best sight in professional snooker. Mark Allen & Ronnie O'Sullivan losing. One down one to go. Congrats Ding 🏆

[@AlanBrown-d8w]

Not you again 😢
