The Snooker Masters match between Ding Junhui and Trump is currently live on CCTV Video and Huya streaming services, with CCTV-5 scheduled to broadcast it at 10 PM tonight.
This match follows a best-of-11 frames format, and both players are currently competing in the first frame with the overall score level at 0-0.
Trump is favored to win this encounter. He is currently ranked first in the world, while Ding Junhui stands at 12th. Their head-to-head record shows Trump leading 13-9, clearly putting Ding at a disadvantage. However, Ding has claimed titles at the UK Championship and the Masters, demonstrating his strong capabilities. Still, given his current form, he might struggle to overcome Trump. I hope he can surprise us like Wu Yize and Xiao Guodong did by defeating Trump to reach the quarterfinals despite being underestimated before the tournament.
