Ding has had an interesiting journey to get to the final at the Crucible -- and here is a quick recap of some of his achievements.

Born in Yixing, Jiangsu province, he began playing at the age of 9 when his father took him to the Chinese national team training centre near Shanghai. His father persuaded his mother to sell their house in order to have money so let their son pursue snooker as a career. It proved to be a good decision, as he is the most successful Asian player in the history of the sport.

Winning 11 major ranking titles the most recent being the 2014 China Open. Known as a prolific break-builder, Ding has compiled more than 400 centuries in his career including 6 maximums. He is the only Asian to be ranked number one, and the first Asian to reach the final of the World Championship.
