Ding’s comments seems to be a little harsh at the post match conference. But what he said earlier rite after losing the match on Weibo is quite sober, just disapointed with himself. Don’t know what made him lose his temper shortly after……I got it all translated here:
“20 days hard training for the Worlds’, ended up here today!”
“Didn’t play well, can’t concentrate in the last couple of frames.”
“Have been putting too much thoughts on the defense there, so as to lose my own pace of game. A little messed up in the last couple of frames.”
“Sorry, to all the fans and press coming here to support me. Sorry, to the fans watching my match today back in China. Sorry, to myself!”
Chinese young snooker player Cao Yupeng posts a statement on his Weibo account this afternoon, in return to Mark Allen’s “obvious cheat” accusation last night. I put the link here, and translate it into English for u guys to read it:
“I felt it’s just a little jump of the cueball but no fault at that time.”
“You can’t explain the cue ball’s screw effect after the shot if it’s a push shot.”
“There were two refs on the baize, the one who’s at the table, Paul Colliar, didn’t call a fault; the other one Michaela Tabb who’s gonna ref the final didn’t either.”
“So all I can say is that respect the judgement of the referee”
“「「「「「「You can have ur opinion, but pls don’t go over the line~!!!」」」」」」”
2011 Premier League Snooker - Final - O’sullivan vs Ding 1-6
The Pinner Potter trailed 234-138 after three racks of the final but he showed great character to battle back and claim the top prize when the 30-minute clock stopped.
