SHEFFIELD, England - China's Ding Junhui moved on to the second round of the World Championship with a 10-5 win over teenage compatriot Zhou Yuelong at Sheffield's Crucible Theatre on Tuesday.
Ding, beaten in last year's final as England's Mark Selby thwarted his bid to become the first Asian player to win the title, resumed with a 7-2 overnight lead.
However, 19-year-old Zhou cut the deficit to 7-4 thanks to breaks of 60 and 93 against his hero.
