Mark Selby won a marathon semi-final against Marco Fu to set up a World Snooker Championship final against Ding Junhui.Selby overcame Fu with a 17-15 victory which included a frame which set the record for the longest in the tournament, at 76 minutes and 11 seconds.Selby and Fu took an hour over the closing frame of the match too, with several long safety battles, before it went the way of Leicester City fan Selby, who will be hoping for a double title celebration this Bank Holiday weekend. Chinese star Ding earlier booked his place in the Crucible final when he fired his seventh century of the semi-final, a classy 123 to complete a 17-11 victory over Scottish veteran Alan McManus.Before Dings masterclass, the record in Sheffield stood at six centuries in a match, achieved by Mark Selby and Ronnie OSullivan, but he set a new mark as he became Asias first World Championship finalist.His earlier tons in the match were 100, 131, 100, 128, 138 and 113, and in a startling run of scoring he also fired breaks of 84, 62, 90, 97, 80 and 60 as well as narrowly missing out on a maximum 147 break.The 29-year-old has been tipped to dominate snooker since his teenage years. Ding rattled in seven centuries during his victory over McManus He won the UK Championship at the age of 18 and in 2013/14 matched Stephen Hendrys record of five ranking titles in a season, becoming world No 1 in December 2014.A drastic dip in fortunes saw him recently slide outside the top 16, meaning he had to go through qualifying for this tournament.But sweeping through three preliminaries bolstered his confidence for an assault on the event in which he has previously underachieved, providing what has proven to be the ideal preparation.I feel peaceful at the moment, just like normal. I want to be excited but my heart tells me its like normal, said Ding after beating McManus. Alan McManus enjoyed a superb run at the Crucible The tournament hasnt finished yet so I want to stay focused. In the first few years of playing snooker I didnt really know about the World Championship because they didnt show this tournament much on TV in China.The first dream was to win any tournament, then after turning professional in 2003 I wanted to win the World Championship title.Theres more and more supporters in China, its crazy like that. I want to stay away from that and keep calm. Ive had a lot of messages. My phones almost blown up.Also See:Selby levels after marathonCue tip loss hits FuCheap Air Max 97 Grey China .

It is a statistic that weighs every carry/target and converts the data into one number that indicates a players scoring opportunity. For example, if a player has an OTD of 3.0, it means that a league-average player who saw the same number of targets in the same area of the field would have scored three touchdowns.Arizonaa Cardinals: Michael Floyds 2016 season is not going as planned, but the veteran receivers three touchdowns are certainly legitimate.dddddddddddd Floyd ranks 15th in the league in receiving OTD (3.2), and only six players have exceeded his seven end zone targets. Floyds snaps have dwindled recently, but hell maintain flex value as long as Carson Palmer continues to feature him near the goal line. Six teams are on a bye this week, so even if John Brown (leg) returns, Floyd should be in lineups against Carolinas struggling cornerbacks. ' ' '
