Chinese snooker<\/a> player Ding Junhui was denied the opening frame of his 4-3 win over fellow countryman Ma Hailong at the English Open after arriving in the wrong coloured pants. <\/p>\n

Sporting a seemingly inconspicuous pair of brown pants, Ding forgot that the dress code at the tournament stipulates all black clothing.<\/p>\n

In realising his mistake, Ding sent a friend to purchase a new pair of pants from a nearby shop but had to forfeit the opening frame after his wardrobe change caused the match to be delayed.<\/p>\n

"I totally forgot I needed a black shirt and trousers," Ding said.<\/p>\n

"My memory is not good. I didn't think about it. Once I was playing, I tried to just concentrate on the match.<\/p>\n

"Luckily Ma's safety was not that good and he gave me enough chances to win."<\/p>\n

Ding trailed 3-1 in the encounter before rallying from behind to take the final three frames to progress to the event's second round.<\/p>\n

A 14-time ranking event winner, Ding has previously conquered the Masters and the UK Championship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
