Williams beats Ding to win final

Mark Williams
Williams has now won 17 ranking titles in his career

Mark Williams staged a superb fightback to beat home favourite Ding Junhui 10-6 and win his first title in four years at the China Open in Beijing.

Ding, 23, knocked in two century breaks to build a 5-3 over the Welshman.

But the two-time former world champion won seven of the next eight frames to record his third triumph in the event, collecting the top prize of £55,000.

It was the 17th ranking title of the 35-year-old's career, his first success since winning the same event in 2006.

Williams started the match in fine style with a break of 110, but the high quality continued as Ding knocked in a 127 to level things up.

After Williams had edged 2-1 ahead Ding captured three frames in succession, which culminated with a run of 116 for a 4-2 advantage.

Williams stayed in contention by winning the seventh but a well-constructed 82 gave Ding a 5-3 lead.

The final frame of the first session was critical and both men wasted chances before Williams kept his composure to record a 6-1 and give the scoreline a much more respectable look from his point of view.

Breaks of 81 and 65 saw Williams edge into the lead for the first time since the opening frame but a 73 from Ding levelled up the entertaining encounter once again.

There was to be no further twist, however, as Ding began to feel the tension and Williams methodically claimed four frames in succession, before exuberantly smashing the yellow off the table having cleared to the colours to seal the match.
