"Ding Junhui's situation is actually very dangerous, and if he can't make changes in time, his ranking will inevitably and endlessly fall." He has to make all-round changes, and what he has before, except for the goal points (accuracy), must be abandoned and started from scratch, and he has to change his game grand strategy in all directions. ”

"Ding Junhui belongs to the kind of sensational player, and he was also an outstanding player in the sport, I think he seems to continue some of his wrong batting methods on white balls at the moment, and the method he needs to take at the moment is to change it radically, and he should actively participate in the tournament in order to return to the top 16 position in the world, otherwise he will need to start from the qualification tournament at next year's World Championships!"
