Calm, composed, and brilliantly precise. Ding’s understated confidence fits this optimistic, feel-good anthem perfectly, especially as he aims for snooker’s summit once again.

Bonus Anthem for the Baize:
If the Tour Championship ever did include real walk-out tunes, we think one track could unite fans and players alike:
“Seven Nation Army” by The White Stripes – instantly recognizable, universally chantable, and perfectly suited to ramp up the excitement before any match.
