Ding Junhui crashed out of the Haikou World Open in sensational circumstances as he was thrashed 5-1 by wildcard Jin Long.

Jin, the 30-year-old from Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, took full advantage of a below-par Ding, growing in confidence as the match progressed.

Jin won some close frames in the early stages and reached the interval with a 3-1 lead. A break of 76 gave him the fifth frame and two visits in the sixth secured him a famous victory over the player who had won the Welsh Open just nine days earlier.

"I made some mistakes but had a little more luck and Ding didn't grab his chances," said Jin. "He was feeling the pressure as I led at the interval and I tried to take it easy and try my best. Ding is a great player and hard to beat so I am very happy indeed with the victory." - http://www1.skysports.com/
