ding junhui during the opening round at the snooker masters in london on monday.
chinese ace ding junhui made a sensational maximum 147 break in the opening round at the snooker masters on monday, despite his opponent ronnie o'sullivan reaching the quarterfinals 6-3 at last.
ding, 36, missed his fourth uk championship title after losing to o'sullivan in the final last month and seemed helpless as he trailed behind the world no.1 4-0 on monday.
unexpectedly, ding found his way to come back after the interval and recovered to one game behind at 4-3. he even scored a break of maximum in the seventh frame, the fourth 147 break in masters history and the 195th in snooker history.
however, the 48-year-old o'sullivan was too sharp to surpass. the rocket then played two centuries to seal his victory 6-3.
later on monday, ali carter saw off veteran mark williams 6-4.
