A Match To Remember

I'm not sure Ding Juinhui will see it that way at the moment or whether he'll try to put it out of his mind. But in time he will maybe draw on the experience.

But what I shall remember is not Ronnie's awesome performance (there have been others before and there will be more to come) but his humanity and kindness. How many players put their arm round the shoulder of the player they haven't beaten yet? And take them to their own dressing-room for a break when they are so dazed they don't know the score?

If anyone can help Juinhui with such a trauma, it must be Ronnie - a genius with a heart.

Way to go.
