Early career Ding 秋铁皇宗喜著started playing snooker at th行可促陈e age of nine. He practices the game for eight h提好为ours every day, and in 2003 he became the number one ranked player in China.[1]
Ding shot to international prominenc观场e in 2002, when 式更事确罗任衡源固he won the 美只讨掌Asian Under-21 Championship, the Asian Championship, and the IBSF World Under-21 Championship. He was unable to progress much in 2003, as both the Asian Championship and Under-21 Championship had to be cancelled because of the SARS virus crisis, but he was a semi-finalist in the IBSF World Under-21 championship, and was awarded a Main Tou牛采际里著银r concession by the WPBSA, which enabled him t庆工般多呼o turn professional in September 2003.
Professional career In February 与较投收机2004, Ding was awarded a wildcard entr油引都混织我也肉研黑几y to the Masters in London, where, in the first round, he defeated the then world no. 16-ran化明ked playe史对冷酒吸西配县孩酸苦r, Joe Perry析领存超电,[2] before narr肉察owly losing 6-5 in the second round to experienced top player Stephen Lee after holding a 2-5 lead over him.[3] His performance favourably impressed many commentators, who since then rated him a likely future World Champion.
In March 2005, he celebrated his 18th birthday by reaching the final of the China Open in Beijing, along the way defeating world top-16 ranked players Peter Ebdon, Marco Fu and Ken Doherty. In that final he played against then world no.-3-ranked Stephen Hendry, whom he beat by 9 frames to 5, to score his first ranking tournament win.
In December 2005, he beat another crop of (now former) world top-16 players, namely Jimmy White, the late Paul Hunter and Joe Perry once more on his way to reaching the final of another major tournament, the UK Championship at the Barbican Centre in York. This time he met the resurgent snooker legend Steve Davis in the final, and defeated him by ten frames to six, in doing so becoming the first player from outside Britain or Ireland to win that particular title. Following this victory, his world ranking was provisionally raised from 60 (62 at the start of the season) to 31. At the end of the season, he was ranked 27th. This means that now he does not have to pre-qualify for various tournaments, and only has to win one match to reach the World Championships in Sheffield.
On 19 August, 2006, he beat Stephen Lee 6-1, and reached the final of the Northern Ireland Trophy, meeting Ronnie O'Sullivan in the final the following day. He beat O'Sullivan 9-6 to claim his third ranking tournament win,[4] becoming only the third person ever to do so before his twentieth birthday,[4] after O'Sullivan and John Higgins.[4] This win pushed his provisional world ranking position up to fifth.
In December 2006, he won three gold medals at the Asian Games, winning the Single, Double and Team Snooker competitions. The following week, he reached, as the defending champion, the quarterfinal stage of the 2006 UK Snooker Championship,[5] and subsequently lost to his practice partner and eventual winner, Peter Ebdon, by 9 frames to 5.[5]
On 1 January, 2007, he beat Cao Xinlong 5-4 to reach the final of the Chinese National Snooker Championship in East China's Yixing, Jiangsu province, his home town. The following day, he beat Xiao Guodong in the final by 6 frames to 2, in doing so becoming the national champion once again.[6]
On 14 January, 2007, Ding made a 147 break in the opening match of the Saga Insurance Masters against Anthony Hamilton.[7] It was the first maximum in the competition since that of Kirk Stevens in 1984, which was also the only one up to then.[7] Additionally, Ding is the youngest player to make a 147 during a televised session (a record previously held by Ronnie O'Sullivan),[7] and became the first Chinese snooker player in the history of BBC's coverage to make a televised maximum. He went on to make the final of the tournament, becoming the second[citation needed] youngest player to reach a Masters final. He made a confident start by winning the first two frames. However, O'Sullivan went on to produce what many regard as one of the finest displays of snooker ever seen on television. His dominance, along with the boisterous and hostile nature of the crowd, left Ding visibly distraught during the twelfth frame, trailing 8-3 in the best of 19 frames contest. The latter appeared resigned to defeat, taking little time to consider his shot selection, and after the frame shook hands with O'Sullivan, after which the two walked arm in arm to the dressing room area, but because it had only been the last frame before the mid-session interval, and so indeed not the very last frame of the match, no-one knew if he had conceded the match, believed the match was over or was just congratulating O'Sullivan on his formidable play. He ultimately lost the match on the next frame, and later claimed that he thought the match was indeed a "best of 17". He was next bumped out of two tournaments in a row in the first rounds, losing 5-2 to Stephen Maguire in the first round of the Malta Cup[8] and 5-1 to Jamie Cope in the opening round of the Welsh Open.[9] By 14 March 2007, however, Ding had qualified for the televised final stages of the World Championships for the first time by beating Mark Davis.[10] However, his losing streak in ranking tournaments this season continued with a 5-3 first round loss to Barry Hawkins in the China Open.
