DING JUNHUI is 8-1 with the Ladbrokes to add to his Masters win with victory in the World Championship in spring.
The Chinese sensation beat Marco Fu 10-4 at Wembley to lift the Ladbrokes Mobile Masters and all week looked the man to beat.
He looks a much more rounded and composed player than the one who first bounced on to the scene and is joint third favourite for Crucible glory.
From what I witnessed at Wembley the youung certainly looks a good each-way bet as he was clearly the best performer in an elite field of the world's top 16.
David Williams of Ladbrokes said: “Ding's victory at Wembley has catapulted him to the top of the game. He will take some stopping in Sheffield on this evidence.”
Fu is a 33-1 chance to win the World Championship with Ronnie O'Sullivan 9-2 tournament favourite ahead of 11-2 John Higgins.
Ladbrokes betting:
9-2 O'Sullivan
11-2 Higgins
8-1 Mark Selby
8-1 Ding
8-1 Neil Robertson
8-1 Mark Williams
