Ronnie and Ding Exhibition on 16 May 2024

On the second day of Ding and Ronnie exhibitions in Luoyan, Ronnie appeared to be on ruthless mood as he beat Ding by 5-1. Here is the match:

Ronnie played quite well and Ding struggled. Obviously Ronnie was aware of the fact that Ding had a difficult day and took some very spectacular risky shots, getting most of them. The table obviously played easy which helped… it’s an exhibition after all and “exhibition shots” is what most fans want to watch.

And some more photos of the event…

From what I understood from Weibo, people on the site were able to watch free of charge. The event aimed at promoting both snooker as a sport and the cultural treasures of the region. The Longmen Grottos site is part of the “UNESCO World Heritage” . It is to be protected, admired and cherished.
