At the 2017 National Championships, Ding Junhui first appeared on the red carpet show. Ding Junhui, who played as the finale at the time, appeared in sunglasses. In an interview, Ding Junhui said that he was wearing sunglasses because his eyes were swollen.

Last night, Ding Junhui faced off against Chen Zhe, his qualifier opponent. The match ended in the early hours of the morning.

“Recently, I’ve been in a good state, but due to the influence of my eyes, some balls are still not clear. I still play at my own pace. This will cause more mistakes.”

At the end of the national championship tour, Ding Junhui will also play in the championship and the Shanghai Masters. Ding Junhui with eye problems is worrying. “I need some emotional release. I was released during the game, but it doesn’t mean that I will do this every time I play.”
