Great stuff ...13-9 it is .....if Ronnie can win one more frame this session the match is almost over.

Decent break there.

Stevens has done a lot of good work this morning. He just needs two of the last three frames now, which sounds a lot easier than six out of eight.

Agreed. However I also have a feeling Ronnie will be firing a bit now...maybe indeed win all 3 remaining frames. He hasn't been competing, or so it feels. When he does get in that frame of mind, he will power in a couple of frames in no time...

Rocket will win the last 3 frame who wanna bet?

Ronnie needs to go into attacking mode now, Stevens is dictating this match by playing percentage snooker, Ronnie has gone too defensive and trying to defend his lead. He has the problem though that the run isn't going for him whereas Stevens seems to be getting away with a lot of mistakes.

[Ronnie's tip]

Stevens get's a double kiss - white goes back up the table.
Ronnie get's a double kiss - easy frame winning chance for Stevens.

12-9 now. 4 of the last 5 frames for Stevens. A combination of Stevens playing well, having a lot of luck and O'Sullivan playing poor is what's changed this. Pretty much the worst possible situation as far as momentum goes.

edit:

Another double kiss for Ronnie - leaves easy red.

[daffie]

Again...good job Matthew!!! Keeping the pressure on Ronnie, who isn't playing very well at the moment...12-9 it is.

[attilahun]

Ronnie is not playing that well at the moment but Stevens has all the luck in the world. Yesterday when he missed, Ron was able to punish him, no he cant get a half chance.

walk the match? hes still behind

He won't be come this evening. O'Sullivan's seen the glory and now his head's gone. Potting and safety all over the place.

[Ronnie's tip]

Chance missed by Stevens, but again he get's the red safe.

[LittleMissAlexa]

Black missed off the spot. Told you. Stevens will walk this match now.

walk the match? hes still behind
