RESULTLIGHT: O’SULLIVAN 6-1 DING
O’Sullivan, the Shanghai Masters, UK, and Masters winner, remarked on ITV, “I felt alright tonight.” Just neat. I felt like I was in charge of every shot. Major breaks didn’t worry me. Most of the time, I thought I could get the ball to go where I wanted it to. I was relieved after the shot. I thought I could do something if given the chance. Tonight I felt confident and at ease. Every match I play is exciting for me; I enjoy playing the table and the balls, and playing Ding was a special occasion. I have to play well, I realized. I’ve performed well in a couple of sessions, but it was only average.

Attendees pay handsomely to see. At times, maintaining endurance might be challenging. Regardless of my words or emotions, I mentally present a professional image at all times. I want people to know that I’m not giving it my all. It’s difficult. Even though the game is challenging for you, I’m still giving it my all, and today it felt wonderful. Both the audience and I found enjoyment in it. That’s what draws you back when you deliver a strong performance.Judd is playing extremely well, so I’m looking forward to the end. To stand a chance of winning, I have to play there. I’ll enjoy the match if I can execute the shot well and feel at ease.
