Matthew Stevens vs. Shaun Murphy
May 2nd, 2007The match is in its final frames as Matthew is only one frame away from victory and Shaun is 5 frames back. Any mistake on Shaun’s behalf would certainly lead Matthew to victory.
Shaun Murphy doesn’t lay down his weapons, he’s now 2 frames back from Stevens and he has good chances of catching up, it would be nice to see a decisive frame in this match.
Shaun Murphy makes an incredible come-back from 8-12 to 11-12 and if he wins this next frame we will have a beautiful decisive frame in this match.
I must say the long pot success rate in this match is catastrophic, 51% for Shaum and only 60% for Matthew. That makes any good safety shot count because it is more likely to result in a mistake of the adversary and maybe a good shot at the next red.
Shaun Murphy proves everybody wrong as he makes an unbelivable comeback and sends the game in its deciseve frame. After Matthew Stevens lost a lead of 5 frames while he was only one frame away from victory we will be watching the last frame and there is no certainty regarding the winner of this match, not anymore.
Shaun Murphy wins the frame and the match in one of the most dramatic come-backs of snooker’s history and denies Matthew Stevens not only the match and a place in the semifinals but also his place in top 16 for the next season.
