Allen arrived at the Tour Championship as the No. 1 seed after being the most impressive player on the circuit for the current season.

But with the World Championship still to come, Allen failed to impress against Ding and registered just three half-centuries in a 10-5 defeat. Ding hit 10 half-century breaks, converting one to a break of 116, as he punished Allen’s mistakes and often kept his opponent in his seat when he was given a single chance to win a frame. Speaking on ITV4 after the match-up, seven-time world champion Hendry compared the two players and pointed out Allen’s biggest weakness right now.
