Yan Bingtao, who is 13 years younger than Ding Junhui, is currently walking in the rising stage of his career, although compared with Ding Junhui in this age group at that time, his record is still a big gap, but as far as the current Yan Bingtao is concerned, he is already the strongest player in the same age group.
Participating in the Champions League again this year, Ding Junhui has been somewhat lonely, and after the second round of the British Championship, the world ranking has slipped to the current 29th place, and the highest ranking can participate in very few events. As a last resort, the Champions League became an option. In the group stage, his start was unfavorable, and he was reversed by the young Yan Bingtao in the first round 1-3.
Fortunately, Ding Junhui was not discouraged and adjusted his state in time, and the overall play of "China's first brother" Ding Junhui in the sixth group stage was still very good, and he advanced to the group semifinals with 4 wins and 2 losses.

After entering the semi-finals of the group, Ding Junhui welcomed the "glasses man" Gould. In the group round robin, he once beat his opponent 3-2. The group semi-finals were again against the "Spectacled Man". Ding Junhui blasted out a single shot of 134 points in the first set, making it a strong start 1-0. However, in the following game, Ding Junhui was killed by Gould 2-3 because of a mistake at a critical time, losing the opportunity to compete for the group championship.
