Exhibition Tournament in Chengdu – Ronnie v Ding – 19 May 2024

The exhibition tournament in Chengdu continued today. The Ronnie vs Ding match attracted a lot of fans but unfortunately it was very one-sided, Ding winning by 5-1 and getting his revenge after Ronnie beat him convincingly in Luoyang earlier this week. It was mentioned yesterday that Ronnie wasn’t feeling well during his match against John Higgins and, possibly, this was a factor today as well. If so, it’s unfortunate but those things happen and it can’t be helped.

Anyway … here are some images shared on social media, mainly on Weibo

The other match today saw John Higgins play Judd Trump. At the time of writing I don’t know who won, let alone the score. Higgins didn’t make a 147 … but he did make the highest break of the tournament – thanks Kalacs for clarifying this – and has won a car for his efforts.

Once again, big thanks to Kalacs for his much appreciated contribution … Please, check the comments section where Kalacs posted a lot of short videos and more pictures.

    with AI: “In this afternoon’s performance in Chengdu, Higgins and Trump teamed up to produce five breaks over one hundred. Zhang narrowly won 5-4! Higgins scored the highest in the competition and was directly awarded a car by sponsor Ji Yue Auto! 😳😡💰👍 But to be honest, it’s a bit uncomfortable for Zhang to receive this car. Checking the lowest configuration, it costs 220,000 yuan. He has to pay 20% accidental income tax, and if he wants to register it, he’ll have to pay 10% vehicle purchase tax. If he wants to ship it back to the UK, they’ll also charge him 10% import tariff…”

    I don’t know why this one write Zhang 5-4 because here Zhang means Higgins! 😀
