China's Ding reaches last eight at snooker worlds

Xinhua, April 25, 2016 Adjust font size:

China's Ding Junhui defeated world No. 5 Judd Trump 13-10 to reach the quarterfinals at the snooker world championship here on Monday.

Ding led 10-6 going into Monday's final session and held off a late comeback by the Englishman to win three of the seven frames played and secure victory.

The former world number one will face Welshman Mark Williams in the last eight.

"I feel good," said Ding. "When I feel well I don't feel a lot of pressure.

"Judd is a great player. I had a very good start at 6-2 up and after that I tried to hold on and win every session, or if not hold it at 4-4." Endit
