2008 Jiangsu Classic
The 2008 Guolian Securities Jiangsu Classic professional non-ranking snooker tournament was held between 4 and 8 June 2008 in two cities in the Jiangsu Province, China.
The round-robin stage consisted of two groups of six players, eight top 16 players and four Chinese wild cards. The event was unusual in that the final was staged in Wuxi, while the rest of the tournament had been held in Nanjing.
Ding Junhui, the only player to have won all his matches, delighted his home crowd by taking the title with a tense final frame decider defeat of Mark Selby.

Famous quotes containing the word classic:
“The great British Library—an immense collection of volumes of all ages and languages, many of which are now forgotten, and most of which are seldom read: one of these sequestered pools of obsolete literature to which modern authors repair, and draw buckets full of classic lore, or “pure English, undefiled” wherewith to swell their own scanty rills of thought.”
—Washington Irving (1783–1859)
