Former world champion Mark Williams bowed out of the Ladbrokes Mobile Masters in the first round today, beaten 6-4 by Ding Junhui.

Former world champion Mark Williams bowed out of the Ladbrokes Mobile Masters in the first round today, beaten 6-4 by Ding Junhui.

In a low quality game at Wembley Arena, where both players struggled to find form, China’s world number four established a 5-2 advantage.

World number three Williams threatened to make a game of it when he won the next two frames to reduce the deficit to 5-4.

However, the left-hander from Cwm was made to pay for missing a chance to square the contest in the 10th frame as Ding booked his place in the second round.
