Ding Junhui set a record! Approaching the prize money of 1.35 million yuan, the performance of the Masters surpassed that of British players
Although he lost to Ding Junhui 3-6, he still won the championship of the ** Gram Masters with a perfect score of 147, which also made O'Sullivan's status temporarily retreat to the background. He almost hit £147,000, a new all-time high in the Masters.
In the history of the Masters, there are only 4 perfect strokes, and Ding Junhui is two. To the confusion of British players, British athletes, such as Hendry and O'Sullivan, have never achieved a perfect score of 147.
In 1984, Canada's Kirk Stevens dressed in white and had a perfect match with Jimmy White and got a perfect result. Ding Junhui is also the best player in Asia, beating Anthony Hamilton in the 2007 season at the age of 19 with a perfect score of 147.
At the 2015 Masters, Hong Kong's Fu Ka Chun defeated Bingham 147. In 2024, Ding Junhui will defeat O'Sullivan again and become a member of the Masters.
When Ding Junhui finished playing a black ball, Ding Junhui waved his fist excitedly, and O'Sullivan also stood up to applaud him and congratulated him. This is also the seventh time that Ding Junhui has achieved a perfect result in his tennis career.
If he can make 147 all-out rings at this year's World Championships, then he can get an additional $147,000 in rewards. The huge prize money will be awarded to those who have scored two single-stroke 147s in three major events (World Championships, Masters and British Championships).
More than 2,000 fans stood up to cheer on Ding's performance, setting the largest competition in the history of the British Gram Championship. Doherty commented: "His performance was great from start to finish. Home ball possession is typical. This is a great backdrop for the large number of spectators, the importance of the event, and the sacred place of **g. It's a battle for glory. ”
On major online platforms in Europe and the United States, many netizens are praising Ding Junhui, and a British netizen commented: "Great breakthrough, Ding Junhui pays tribute to Ronnie with this." Someone else commented: "Ding Junhui's white ball move is a classic. Others said: "China's Ding Junhui is O'Sullivan's most admired player, there are no losers, and Ronnie won very well."
