Chinese potter Ding Junhui expects to bounce back from his season-long struggles this week at the home tournament where his rise to stardom began.
Back in 2005, Ding took the sport by storm by beating seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry in the first China Open final in Beijing.
Since then, Ding has gone on to become Asia's most successful snooker player, collecting 13 ranking-event titles, including the 2005 UK Championship, the 2013 Shanghai Masters and a second China Open in 2014, in the process.
