[PaulTheSoave]

Came back. did not believe the score! 5-5! Stevens well done. did not deserve to go out on that black. respotted black would have been the ultimate!

[Valderie]

Thanks Semih - I thought at 5-0 that at last I was enjoying watching a match of Stephen's with no stress - my stomach is in knots! Enjoyed his chat with the BBC team, he does seem more relaxed in the last couple of months.

[hegeland]

Well done Stephen!
