Ding looking better now.
But Selby is the best back runner (if it comes to that), and Ding has shown huge mental fragility, so the fear of success is inevitable having seen how he's started the match.
Not sure I follow. What do you mean by "the fear of success is inevitable having seen how he's started the match"?
If Ding comes close to winning the whole thing, he'll certainly get nervous, start making mistakes, just like he did at the beginning of the match, and just like we've seen with many players - the fear of success. It happens when their estimate of the prize is higher than their self esteem.
The significance of the title is affecting Ding enormously.
