How exactly is the name of Chinas best snooker player pronunced? The basic pinyin is ding junhui, but what are the tones (1..5)? As far as I know he was born and raised in a town 200 miles from Shanghai - would this have any influence on the way his name is pronunced? According to the usual way of always placing the family name in from of the personal name, is his family name "Ding" or have they been switched according to western tradition? And last of all - what are the chinese signs of his name?

If he is from the vicinity of Shanghai, his name is probably pronounced differently at home (in the dialect of that region).

I don't think the dialect he speaks will have any influence on the mandarin pronuncation of his name, and the pinyin system is only used for mandarin.
