Like you, I thought the match was over bar the shouting, but then noticed the score and popped over to eurosport.de to catch the last two frames. Stevens looked jaded and was suffering more from the pressure while Murphy just calmly put away the final frame to no reply!<BR/><BR/>Where does Stevens go from here? He's had an awful season, and I really thought his performance in Sheffield was turning it round, only for him to blow it! I really fear for him being able to reverse the slide. 5 years ago I had him and Hunter as the best prospects in the game. We've sadly lost Hunter, and Stevens seems to have forgotten how to play...<BR/><BR/>As I write Carter and Selby are 6-all, and Ali pipped Maguire's high break with a 144! That looks like being a very close match.<BR/><BR/>Maguire himself scored very heavily to finish off Hamilton, including a 137. Is he now the dark horse for the title?<BR/><BR/>I can't see Ronnie doing a Murphy comeback. Higgins is too canny and mentally strong for that, and he's playing his best snooker for ages.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I've got the same dilemma tonight as last night: trying to watch the snooker, the Champions League, and put the bairns to bed, while the wife's trying to watch her soaps....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
