So #Ding will play #Zhao in the second round, what a matchup. The one, China hoped would win them the world championship, versus the one who actually did. I don’t see Ding standing a chance, but we’ll see. #CrucibleCurse might be siding with Ding, and if Zhao wins, the #DingCurse* might still apply (*whoever beats Ding, loses his next match. The curse was broken last year, I think, but that might have been an anomaly :P) #SnookerWorldChampionship #snooker

Goodnight, ding-ding-ding-ding-ding. Moody broke the Ding Curse, which spanned 23 matches over 18 months: www.snooker.org/res/index.as... #snooker #WeLoveSnooker #DingCurse

With Zhao Xintong losing to Kyren Wilson in the Shanghai Masters after beating Ding Junhui in the previous round, the Ding Curse is extended to 22(!) matches. Here you can see each of Ding's defeats and his conqueror's defeat in the next match: www.snooker.org/res/index.as... #DingCurse #snooker

Turns out (yet again) that you can’t beat Ding Junhui at the World Championship and expect to win your next match 🤷‍♂️ #snooker #DingCurse
