Ding met Ronnie in his first Masters final four years ago but suffered a 3-10 defeat. During the final, the violent crowd left Ding in tears. Ronnie comforted Ding but this defeat still brought about the 19-year-old trough in his early career. Ding is now a more mature player and he proved himself by winning the title last year. Will Ding beat Ronnie this time?
