    Am sure I have heard ding refer to his partner as his wife in recent interviews, maybe I picked it up wrong. But I like the attitude he’s showing this past while, looking like the whole weight of the world isn’t resting on his shoulders anymore.

    I thought Ding got married in 2014. They had their first child, a baby girl, last August.

    Could be renewal of vows or something like that, does sound bit of a tall story to be frank but anything is possible at the same time.

    Giving Brian from Coventry wedding ideas there.

    I see Brian is back in the front row here with his different Coventry shirts each session. Hearn didn't extend the football shirt ban to the Masters anyhow.

    Yes he always looked somewhat uptight. I don't know if that's the Chinese way or his particular personality but he does look more relaxed of late for sure.

    That had to be a push shot all the time whether you could actually see it or not. Second one today imo. Day coincidentally with a blue into the same pocket.

    That escape from bracel was excellent. Did he really mean to get it back in that close to the yellow though, or was he just trying to get it close to the cushion as he could.

    Unreal. Ding forfeits the frame after three misses.

    Wow, I can’t believe Ding lost that frame on the three miss rule. He couldn’t have left much on there by putting a bit more power into it!

    What a silly mistake. It's not like the reds were all on and straightforward to clear up.

    Should have hit it but I don’t think you take the risk in that situation. Reckless in the extreme.

    I was just going to say that you would fancy Ding if he keeps it tight but he didn't by going for that double that can always possibly go wrong which it did.

    Cost him the match. He won't forget that miss for a long time.

    The way he rushed his last shot was strange too, was sure he was going to come up off the shot and steady himself but just stayed down, pulled trigger and missed. Definitely talented but remains a work in progress does luca.

    Poor start from both, very nervy, several chances spurned already.
