If china can produce a player of such quality at such a young age and belive me their are plenty more in his shadow we will see a shift in the modern game, the bar is about to be raised, which is good for the sport.
Hopefully we'll see a few more ranking events next season then, together with Ronnie showing the commitment to the game that will be needed to keep him top of the pile.
apparently there is another chinese player 3 years younger than ding who is suppose to be twice as good. but o'sullivan on his day is untouchable by anyone that has ever picked up a cue
