The latest news on March 13, 2022, Beijing time, snooker commentator Chris sincerely felt sorry for the Chinese brother after watching the match between Ding Junhui and Serte. Chris said after the game that Ding Junhui was only one step away from the real rise, which was a pity. If Ding Junhui can reach the final again, he will definitely be the champion. He didn't lose to his opponent, he just lost to unlucky enough. Although the result of the game is regrettable, Chris believes that he firmly believes that Ding Junhui has entered a new stage in his personal career. He believes the "Chinese Dragon" from the East will make a strong comeback in the Crucible race.
Ding Junhui is still one of the best players in the game
Although Ding Junhui lost 5-6 to Serte in the semi-finals of the Turkish Masters, Chris believes That Ding Junhui has proved that he is still one of the best players in the game. Chris said: "Although the results did not satisfy everyone, I think Ding Junhui has proved everything to everyone. You have to admit that he's still one of the best players in the world. Going from trailing 3-0 behind Serte to winning four straight sets 4-3 over their opponents was an incredible process. For the vast majority of professional players, this is a difficult thing to do. You look at his one-shot performance, his possession and his confidence, and you can clearly feel the difference between him and his opponent. This is the objective gap between top players and ordinary players. ”
Chris: Ding Junhui only lost to unlucky
In the match against Serte, Ding Junhui did not do anything wrong. If he had to find a reason, it might be that his state was slow and unlucky. Chris said: "From the whole game, I don't think Ding Junhui did anything wrong. The opponent was three sets ahead of him and he could overtake the score. The opponent takes the match point first, and he can tie the score. From these aspects, you can know that there is nothing wrong with Ding Junhui's psychological quality, and anyone who suspects that he is not psychologically strong enough can shut up. The crux of the matter is that Sert's luck is too good, and if you look at the big picture, you will find that good luck did not follow Ding Junhui. Sert makes a lot of mistakes, but he often doesn't miss a chance, which is incredible. So even if he doesn't play well, he still won't let his opponent pull the score apart. And this laid the groundwork for the later games, so I don't think Ding Junhui made any mistakes, he just wasn't lucky. ”
Chris: Ding Junhui proves his strength
For any top player, they know how strong Ding Junhui is, however, in the past few years, Ding Junhui's sluggish state has made him questionable. Chris said seriously: "When a player is at a low point in form, it is difficult for you to see the confidence and strong psychological qualities of the highlight moments in him. This is predestined, because your bad form does not make you confident at all, not even O'Sullivan and Higgins. I think many people always like to use some accidental events as a basis for judging when evaluating the psychological quality of a player. As a top player, he may be caught in the middle of a disaster because he has been reversed a few times, which I think is a very bad phenomenon. If you're professional enough, I'm sure you'll look at a lot of data, like the tiebreaker win rate, like the final win rate, like the record of the opponent against a strong opponent. Ding Junhui's heart can't get over, I think only O'Sullivan is alone, because he has lost too many times. But the other players have no restraint on him at all, and he has no psychological pressure against other players. I've always known he's a strong player and as long as he's in good shape, I believe he can beat any player. What he has done now since his strong return has proved my judgment. ”
