Mon 09 Jun, 11:09 AM


Ding Junhui has won the inaugural Jiangsu Classic in his home town of Wuxi City, China.

Ding completed a 6-5 win over Wembley Masters champion Mark Selby with a 61 clearance to the pink in the deciding frame initiated by a fluked red.

World number four Selby - runner-up in the 2007 world final - had initially recovered from 5-2 down to level the scores in an exciting contest.

But Wuxi wonder Junhui, a semi-final winner over Ryan Day, knocked in his final break to pocket the £20,000 first prize.
