In recent years, many people believe that Ding Junhui, the first brother of China, is not good enough in psychological quality. They believe that Ding Junhui can return to the road of winning the championship only by overcoming his glass heart.
However, this is not the case. Since winning the British Championships in 2019, Ding Junhui has only reached the final four times in total, including an invitational tournament. And his opponents are all strong enemies, and there are no weaker players.
Under such circumstances, it is normal for a player who has not won the championship for a long time. What's more, Ding Junhui still has one of the most fatal problems today, that is, his remote skills are obviously behind other top players, so this should be the reason why he is difficult to win the championship.
Ding Junhui's biggest problem is still remote technology
As the eighth player in the world, Ding Junhui's comprehensive performance in this season is not bad, but objectively speaking, his remote skills are still the worst among top players. Whether facing O'Sullivan, Allen or Trump, Ding Junhui has lost three ranking finals in the last two years for this reason.
On the defensive side, Ding Junhui's performance was no worse than that of the three players, but on the far side attack, Ding Junhui was a bit worse than the three players. As a result, Ding Junhui did not dare to take risks in the competition.
However, Trump, Allen and O'Sullivan are more willing to take risks in the remote area because they have confidence in their remote technology. This difference in choice also leads to Ding Junhui having fewer opportunities, while O'Sullivan, Trump and Allen will have more opportunities to win.
Ding Junhui's psychological quality is still the world's top level
In the eyes of many fans, Ding Junhui's psychological quality is very poor, and even many people think Ding Junhui is a glass heart. But objectively speaking, this statement is not tenable. Ding Junhui has won 10 and lost 4 in 14 decisive games this season, which is also the world's top performance.
When evaluating a player's psychological quality, the winning rate of the decisive game is the most valuable reference. It is obvious that Ding Junhui can stand the test completely in this respect. In the first round of this year's World Championships, Ding Junhui and Lisovsky played the decisive game all the way.
Although Ding Junhui lost the game, objectively speaking, Ding Junhui did not lose in terms of psychological quality, but in terms of his own distance accuracy.
In the competition, Ding Junhui seems to have a high victory rate at the far end, but in fact, Ding Junhui has played far less at the far end than Lisovsky. So even if he has the best psychological quality, he can't escape defeat.
Ding Junhui still has a long way to go before winning the championship
Compared with two seasons ago, Ding Junhui's state is really much better, but this does not mean that he is very close to winning the championship. On the short side, Ding Junhui's remote technology has always been unstable. Although it has improved compared with the previous ones, there is still a big gap from the real top level.
In addition, Ding Junhui has not won the championship in the ranking match for a long time, which means that he is less experienced in winning the championship than the players who often win the championship. Moreover, successive losses in the final will greatly reduce the confidence of the players.
Considering the above factors, Ding Junhui may need a long time to win the championship in the ranking contest. What's more, Ding Junhui has been making some technical adjustments, which cannot be completed in a short time. Therefore, even if Ding Junhui has the ability to win the championship, he also needs to make full technical preparations before he can win the championship in the competition.
