Ruthless Selby grinds down Ding to win world title

(Reuters) - England's Mark Selby held his nerve in a ruthless display to beat China's Ding Junhui 18-14 on Monday and win the world snooker championship for the second time. World number one Selby, champion in 2014, never trailed in the match as he ended Ding's hopes of becoming the first Asian player to win the biggest prize in the sport. "It is fantastic," Selby said.
