:00:39. > :00:44.Welcome to highlights the from the World Championship. We start with
:00:44. > :00:50.the news that the greatest player of them all, at Stephen Hendry, has
:00:50. > :00:55.announced his retirement from the game. At the start of the game he
:00:55. > :01:00.walked in ready to compete again Stephen Maguire. But the great
:01:00. > :01:08.champion was unable to summon the magic of the past and it lost the
:01:08. > :01:13.first session. The same pattern continued in that session true. We
:01:13. > :01:23.joined as Stephen Hendry is at the table. We are about to see the
:01:23. > :01:25.
:01:25. > :01:30.closing stages of the greatest career at the Crucible. From the
:01:30. > :01:40.snooker he got Maguire in he would have hoped for something easier.
:01:40. > :01:41.
:01:41. > :01:47.Look at what happens every time he misses. But Stephen looks as though
:01:47. > :01:57.he is trying his best to get it to that third and final session. But
:01:57. > :01:59.
:01:59. > :02:09.it is looking increasingly unlikely now. The match time is three hours
:02:09. > :02:16.
:02:16. > :02:25.The pink is available. The blue is on its spot. You can see the
:02:25. > :02:30.difference. 94% against eight it cent. Yes, and to win a match at
:02:30. > :02:34.this stage with a session to spare would be a big help to Maguire,
:02:34. > :02:41.because when you get to the semifinal they are even longer
:02:41. > :02:48.matches. They can go on for three days. That is quite a difference in
:02:48. > :02:53.the point score. Very one-sided. You could argue it is a two-day
:02:53. > :03:03.match and he will win with a day to spare, never mind a session to
:03:03. > :03:06.
:03:06. > :03:14.spare. Yes, and it is looking very much like that. So that Pinker puts
:03:14. > :03:21.him 44 points in front. -- pink. Two Reds, two colours, more than
:03:21. > :03:28.enough to clinch the frame. I am disappointed with Stephen Hendry.
:03:28. > :03:32.He had to get through the qualifiers to get here. He played
:03:32. > :03:40.Stuart Bingham in the first round and what a memorable moment he gave
:03:40. > :03:47.us when he made the maximum break. Absolutely superb. Everybody had
:03:47. > :03:55.been waiting to put that headline in - King Henry VIII. But that
:03:55. > :04:05.pates title will not be is this year. And will it ever? -- 8th
:04:05. > :04:14.title. And lessee does well in the PTC, he will have to try to qualify
:04:14. > :04:23.again. -- unless he does. Let's hope we see Stephen back at the
:04:24. > :04:30.Crucible. He will still be remembered as the king of the
:04:30. > :04:37.Cristobal and whether anybody will ever win seven world title Sea is
:04:37. > :04:42.highly unlikely. -- crystal ball. The rate has not got in but the
:04:42. > :04:48.handshake will come. He says will play two Stephen Maguire as Stephen
:04:48. > :04:53.Hendry bows out. The crowd wanted it to happen but it did not happen.
:04:53. > :04:59.But it happened for that man and she is through to the semifinal. He
:04:59. > :05:04.wins 13-2. After that heavy defeat, Stephen Hendry return to his
:05:04. > :05:12.dressing room to compose himself before making the announcement that
:05:12. > :05:18.after 27 used as a professional the end had arrived. -- 27 years.
:05:18. > :05:23.not the best place but I will miss it. Is this your last match? Are
:05:24. > :05:27.you announcing your retirement? you announcing your retirement?
:05:27. > :05:34.I am definitely retired. I made my mind up three months ago that
:05:34. > :05:42.enough was enough. Why stick to Korea was not going the way I
:05:42. > :05:48.wanted it to go. -- my snooker career. If you are not putting the
:05:48. > :05:53.work in, practising, not enjoying playing the small tournaments, it
:05:53. > :06:00.was grinding me down. I have many commitments for the future in China
:06:00. > :06:05.with an agent of mind. I can't do both. I would never be at home for.
:06:05. > :06:12.What was your mental approach like coming into the tournament knowing
:06:12. > :06:18.that decision had been made? I was very relaxed. I knew what was
:06:18. > :06:26.coming. Consequently, that was why I was more animated than normal
:06:26. > :06:31.when I made the maximum. I knew we would be my last time. A lot of
:06:31. > :06:38.people say that this year compared to last year, you made a maximum,
:06:38. > :06:45.put out the defending champion, how come seemingly playing so well did
:06:45. > :06:51.you retire? Did I really played that well? I got the maximum and
:06:51. > :06:58.had a not bad session. But apart from that, I did not play very well.
:06:59. > :07:05.What do you think people will remember about Stephen Hendry?
:07:05. > :07:11.Tiger Woods is one of my great heroes. They asked him the question.
:07:11. > :07:21.He said, as long as you are in the discussion as to the best player is,
:07:21. > :07:23.
:07:23. > :07:29.then you have done it right. -- as to who. 90 matches, 127 centuries,
:07:29. > :07:35.three Max learns and seven world titles - Stephen Hendry least the
:07:35. > :07:43.Crucible for the last time. -- three maximums. I was totally
:07:43. > :07:47.shocked. He has obviously thought long and hard about it. It is a sad
:07:47. > :07:57.loss for the game. I was delighted that I was playing Stephen Lee in
:07:57. > :08:02.
:08:02. > :08:09.the quarterfinals. -- playing Steven Finn. -- in. I am sad that
:08:09. > :08:15.he has retired. He has retired too early. But Stephen knows best. Good
:08:15. > :08:21.luck to whatever else he does. Higher enjoyed by former world
:08:21. > :08:25.champion Terry Griffiths. This was always on the cards are? Yes, I
:08:25. > :08:35.think so. I thought Stephen should have possibly retired a little
:08:35. > :08:36.
:08:36. > :08:44.while ago. But he has achieved so much and has won seven. But it is a
:08:44. > :08:53.decision he had to make some time. I'm retired as I planned, when I
:08:53. > :08:56.drop dead of the 16th. By Stephen has now made the decision. --
:08:56. > :09:04.dropped out of the 16th. It is frustrating when you cannot achieve
:09:04. > :09:13.your aims. Losing does not come easy to him. You caged Stephen in
:09:13. > :09:18.his younger days. What made him so special? -- coach to. There are few
:09:18. > :09:24.things. He was blessed with a skill and his will to win was frightening.
:09:24. > :09:34.He was very similar to Steve Davis, two players who have dominated
:09:34. > :09:35.
:09:35. > :09:39.again Foston that is what it was. In my early days with him, coaching
:09:39. > :09:49.him, he would tell me not to ring him for three days after he had
:09:49. > :09:50.
:09:50. > :09:55.lost. I would try to ring him. But he would not answer. He has
:09:55. > :10:00.softened a bit since then. But it shows what winning and losing is
:10:00. > :10:05.all about. Everybody says they want to win as much as anybody but
:10:05. > :10:10.Stephen Hendry wanted to win more. And he has won more than anybody
:10:10. > :10:16.else. Now we will look at the match between Neil Robertson and Ronnie
:10:16. > :10:26.O'Sullivan. Robertson was in excellent form and O'Sullivan was
:10:26. > :10:33.
:10:33. > :10:37.doing well. We joined it in frame Neil Robinson was trying to double
:10:37. > :10:44.the red back at the table to move the dizzy your read on the right
:10:44. > :10:54.side off the table. -- the difficult to read it. He is trying
:10:54. > :11:02.
:11:02. > :11:08.to double it with a top-spin. -- difficult red. He is desperate to
:11:08. > :11:18.try to get the red balls away from the cushion. But that is very
:11:18. > :11:26.
:11:26. > :11:36.That was a pretty good effort. Ronnie O'Sullivan now with a chance
:11:36. > :11:48.
:11:48. > :11:56.to seal the final frame of the Looking at the school board, the
:11:56. > :12:03.Blue will be enough to leave Neil Robertson needing a snooker. What
:12:03. > :12:13.has he done there? That is a lack of concentration. No wonder he is
:12:13. > :12:14.
:12:14. > :12:20.smiling. That is two shots - the easiest of pots in the middle
:12:20. > :12:25.pocket. He shows if you do not concentrate 100%, even somebody
:12:25. > :12:32.like Ronnie O'Sullivan can miss. Amazing. Yes, and that reaction
:12:32. > :12:40.from Ronnie there, he realises it is down to sheer lack of
:12:40. > :12:50.concentration. He potted the read and thought he had won the frame. -
:12:50. > :12:51.
:12:51. > :12:56.- red. To win the frame he has to get blacks of these two Reds. This
:12:56. > :13:06.will hurt Romney if he loses this. If he plays the pink he can only
:13:06. > :13:11.
:13:11. > :13:19.tie. If he is dead straight he is trapped -- going to have to try to
:13:19. > :13:25.get up to there. He might need his extension. But the chance is there.
:13:25. > :13:29.If this goes in, the only thing is the Brownies on the wrong side off
:13:29. > :13:39.the table. If Ronnie loses this frame he will not sleep well
:13:39. > :13:50.
:13:50. > :13:57.tonight. He will be back tomorrow He is having a look to see with the
:13:57. > :14:02.balls are. The Brown for a left hander is a little awkward. It
:14:02. > :14:12.would be eight bit risky to leave an angle on the yellow and then
:14:12. > :14:21.
:14:21. > :14:29.It is all about how he gets from green to brown. If he was to pinch
:14:29. > :14:34.this frame by 1 point and take a 5- 3 advantage, that would be amazing.
:14:34. > :14:42.Yes, we always say that certain frames can become pivotal in a
:14:42. > :14:46.match. This could be one. It looked for all money like Ronnie. If he
:14:46. > :14:51.had said that blew up a thousand times you would not expect him to
:14:51. > :14:58.miss it. Just a lack of concentration. It has bounced a
:14:58. > :15:02.little bit too much. It has bounced just a fraction too much. He is
:15:02. > :15:12.going to do well known to pot this brown and it good position on the
:15:12. > :15:17.
:15:17. > :15:22.blue. -- will now. -- well. If he screws back he can't get that far
:15:22. > :15:32.away from the cushion. The fervour off the table, the more difficult
:15:32. > :15:34.
:15:34. > :15:42.If he wants to play the top-spin heating get it slightly further
:15:42. > :15:46.away and leave the long blue. This is a big shock coming up for the
:15:46. > :15:56.did Lee Potter from Australia. Can he popped his blue and get himself
:15:56. > :16:20.
:16:20. > :16:29.on the thing? -- the did Lee Potter. Will he fluked the snicker? --
:16:29. > :16:39.flick. The balls never forgive you. When you make an mistake it is
:16:39. > :16:48.
:16:48. > :16:58.Thank goodness he has stopped to take breath here. He is a little
:16:58. > :17:06.bit annoyed that he is still in this frame. -- annoyed but. This is
:17:06. > :17:10.what annoys me about the mists roll. Neil has had an outrageous fluke to
:17:10. > :17:20.cover it Andy Coulson is. I know that is the will but it is a bit
:17:20. > :17:31.
:17:31. > :17:36.severe. -- and he calls it the Ms. -- it a miss. The last five minutes
:17:36. > :17:42.have been absolutely incredible. Once again, Neil Robinson with
:17:42. > :17:52.another chance. That was an average has bit of good luck. When he
:17:52. > :18:05.
:18:05. > :18:15.flicked the snigger behind the pink. That is right in the centre of the
:18:15. > :18:33.
:18:33. > :18:39.How has Neil Robertson one day a friend? Ronnie O'Sullivan had a
:18:39. > :18:44.break of 58. He had the simplest of blues to take the school was all
:18:44. > :18:51.square, he missed the sitter and Neil Robinson will be delighted. He
:18:51. > :18:58.goes into an overnight lead. Those two will resume on Wednesday
:18:58. > :19:05.afternoon. This afternoon's other match injured with Carter of
:19:05. > :19:10.beating Jones. The Captain is in control heading into session to on
:19:10. > :19:19.Wednesday. Finally to the quarterfinal match between two
:19:19. > :19:24.Welshmen, Matthew Stevens and Ryan Day. Police were Ockham a player
:19:24. > :19:32.whose has produced his best snooker for use in this Championship. --
:19:32. > :19:42.please will come a player. Bidding for his first Crucible semifinal,
:19:42. > :19:49.
:19:49. > :19:55.Ryan Day looked nervous before the match. From then he led 5-3 after
:19:55. > :20:05.the opening session. Matthew Stevens leads 5-4 as we joined the
:20:05. > :20:10.
:20:10. > :20:16.action at frame 10 with Ryan Day on He knew straight away that he had
:20:16. > :20:26.missed that. He was so disappointed, the way he played into the bunch.
:20:26. > :20:26.
:20:26. > :20:36.He was hoping to leave the Redbacks to the black but he screwed it. --
:20:36. > :20:48.
:20:48. > :20:54.They say, don't get angry out there. Don't be disappointed and play with
:20:55. > :20:58.your dessert wine and am anger. That is what Dennis was mentioning,
:20:58. > :21:08.implying that read in the discipline of missing the previous
:21:08. > :21:27.
:21:27. > :21:37.shot. -- in playing that red ball. Snicker is all about confidence. --
:21:37. > :21:38.
:21:38. > :21:48.no go. Part of confidence is thinking positively. -- snicker. --
:21:48. > :22:10.
:22:10. > :22:18.Those Reds are just covering each other. They are nicely placed but
:22:18. > :22:28.slightly balking each other, I think. -- blocking. If they are all
:22:28. > :22:35.covering each other he can play for the blue. He can go for a cannon.
:22:35. > :22:40.He might try to run through for the black. Both black or blue are easy
:22:41. > :22:45.to develop. That read in the middle of the bunch will not be available
:22:45. > :22:50.in a couple of shots time. If you do not like the run through,
:22:50. > :23:00.Matthew, you will have to screw back for the blue. He is going to
:23:00. > :23:01.
:23:01. > :23:06.catch the pink. Such that was played to perfection. -- that was
:23:06. > :23:11.played. He just had to be careful though. He is looking at that
:23:11. > :23:15.little bunch of red balls. They seem to be blocking each other but
:23:15. > :23:23.the one near the pink might be available. But he has played the
:23:23. > :23:33.cannon and it is OK. But he might not be able to see the one in the
:23:33. > :23:36.
:23:36. > :23:44.corner. It is touching. He is not OK. It is very awkward. He went
:23:44. > :23:54.into those Reds in a very positive manner. He got a just reward. Being
:23:54. > :24:01.
:24:01. > :24:11.a left-hander, he can play both It is touching so he must be
:24:11. > :24:39.
:24:39. > :24:43.careful be read does not move. He He hit that nicely. But may have
:24:43. > :24:53.gone a little too far for the red next to the pink. It will not do
:24:53. > :25:02.
:25:02. > :25:12.This is not his highest break in this session. He made a 44 in the
:25:12. > :25:20.first frame. His highest break so far in the match is 86 in the first
:25:20. > :25:30.frame, his first chance. That was pretty impressive. This is slightly
:25:30. > :25:37.
:25:37. > :25:47.These players are very reluctant to go for a colour if they lose
:25:47. > :25:48.
:25:48. > :25:53.position. He struck that well. As good as he could have done without
:25:53. > :26:01.putting a lot of sides been on. And it was too difficult for sides been.
:26:01. > :26:11.He put a fraction on it, but any more and you can miss the port.

:26:20. > :26:30.had a look at the two Reds to see if they are plant for a future for
:26:30. > :26:40.
:26:40. > :26:49.It sounded like heavy contact. Matthew is certainly indicating
:26:49. > :26:51.that. Yes, the red jumper of the bed of the cloth. So just whenever
:26:51. > :27:01.you are getting yourself into a position to draw level in the match,
:27:01. > :27:05.
:27:05. > :27:10.that happens. -- the Red jumped off. -- red. Can I am they take
:27:10. > :27:20.advantage from that bit of misfortunes from Matthew? -- cannot
:27:20. > :27:47.
:27:47. > :27:52.He can play this read. I am not He took a risk bear and now what he
:27:52. > :28:02.will have to put -- pull out a good pot on the Blues. -- he took a risk
:28:02. > :28:09.
:28:09. > :28:16.That looks pretty good. By saying it looks pretty good, maybe he's
:28:17. > :28:22.gone too far -- I say it. He's not on one of the reds. So the chance
:28:22. > :28:32.has gone. There is a plaque on but there is a lot covering the two-
:28:32. > :28:38.balls cash plant on. -- plant on. It would be a risk here if he takes
:28:38. > :28:48.it on. He's taking it on, best of luck, O'Brien. He needs a bit of

:28:58. > :29:05.he would never have taken that on at another stage of the match. He

:29:10. > :29:20.into the middle pocket, the White House travel 25 feet and he is a
:29:20. > :29:22.
:29:22. > :29:27.few inches out of position -- white has travelled. He has left Matthew
:29:27. > :29:37.Stevens slightly awkward here. He is six points in front, Matthew.
:29:37. > :29:40.
:29:40. > :29:50.Beautifully struck. Very easy. Takes the ball a bit better if
:29:50. > :30:10.
:30:10. > :30:15.there's less pace on it. He will He's striking the ball better of

:30:35. > :30:45.He's 20 points in front now. Yellow and green and he will be safe in
:30:45. > :30:46.
:30:46. > :30:56.this 10th frame. A while ago he was staring 6-2 in the face, he pinched
:30:56. > :31:01.
:31:01. > :31:08.the last frame of the first session Slightly worrying times for Ryan
:31:08. > :31:12.day because he has had his chances to extend that lead, but that face
:31:12. > :31:17.tells you that he's a little disappointed with what's happened
:31:17. > :31:23.in the last three frames of this match. He won three in a row but he
:31:23. > :31:32.will lose three in a row. Matthew Stevens takes the frame and he is
:31:32. > :31:37.Matthew Stevens is now on level terms and Ryan Day is definitely
:31:37. > :31:47.looking a little wobbly. He is in trouble again as we rejoin the
:31:47. > :31:49.
:31:49. > :31:55.Could pay dividends if it goes in. At the moment nothing's going for
:31:55. > :32:01.him at all. You couldn't even call that a half chance, it was over
:32:01. > :32:06.distance and under pressure. think at the moment he would love
:32:06. > :32:16.to start this session again. He has got off to the worst possible start
:32:16. > :32:20.
:32:20. > :32:30.here this evening. He has got to I know it's disappointing with

:34:55. > :35:02.session. But as Dennis says, Just left himself slightly hampered,
:35:02. > :35:12.he played that last one with his left hand. At least he doesn't have

:35:27. > :35:36.He has picked off the high valued colours and now he is dealing with

:36:19. > :36:28.him 59 in front. He just needs this Matthew's highest break was a break
:36:28. > :36:33.of 86 that he made in the opening frame. Ryan made back-to-back
:36:33. > :36:43.centuries then, but no really big breaks in the last few frames. This
:36:43. > :36:56.
:36:56. > :37:00.is a timely one for Matthew. Doesn't matter about that red. 46

:37:07. > :37:11.Stevens, four in a row and now he's in the league. Despite not having
:37:11. > :37:21.played his best, Matthew added the next four to make it eight frames
:37:21. > :37:31.
:37:31. > :37:41.in a row and Ryan is in danger of Well done. He's OK, the balloon for
:37:41. > :37:43.
:37:43. > :37:48.goes past the green. -- blue ball. A nice century would help him go to
:37:48. > :37:58.sleep tonight! He need something otherwise it will be a whitewash in
:37:58. > :38:06.
:38:06. > :38:12.this session if he doesn't. No-one likes to see that. He's lost it at
:38:12. > :38:16.the moment. He wants to snap that in two and I don't blame him. He's
:38:16. > :38:26.trying his best, he's giving it everything and he just can't get
:38:26. > :38:28.
:38:28. > :38:33.the stick through in a straight line. Your mind is doing one thing
:38:33. > :38:37.and your head is doing another. It's embarrassing and it is not
:38:37. > :38:41.great for him. That's a good work, embarrassed, because that's how you
:38:41. > :38:48.feel when you're trying your hardest and you can't get it
:38:48. > :38:58.through in a straight line. Matthew Stevens will not lift his foot off
:38:58. > :38:59.
:38:59. > :39:05.the pedal. He has been in two finals here at the Crucible. One
:39:05. > :39:12.against Shaun Murphy where he had a comfortable lead only to see Sean
:39:12. > :39:22.Murphy plays some unbelievable snooker to pinch the title from him.
:39:22. > :39:22.
:39:22. > :40:43.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 85 seconds
:40:44. > :40:53.That was back in 2005 where Murphy What was that? That was a lapse in
:40:53. > :41:03.concentration. No wonder he's scratching his head. It looked like
:41:03. > :41:06.
:41:06. > :41:13.he threw his shoulder into it. Come on, Ryan. 10-six, you're still in
:41:14. > :41:23.it. Is he going to risk it? There are four reds available and then he
:41:24. > :41:27.
:41:27. > :41:37.has got the angle to pot the blue. But if he the canon he might cue in
:41:37. > :41:39.
:41:39. > :41:45.Where is that green going to bounce to? He's OK I think. He did not
:41:45. > :41:49.want to risk playing the Canon there. Believe it or not he has
:41:49. > :41:55.covered it. He will have to take the one up to the corner, which is
:41:55. > :42:05.much more difficult. But he's gone in the middle. I thought maybe he
:42:05. > :42:14.
:42:14. > :42:22.was going to take it to the corner Removing this red clears the path
:42:22. > :42:32.for the black in that corner. But it all depends on whether the

:42:40. > :42:50.blackballed pop's past the other Rec. -- Black pots passed at the
:42:50. > :42:57.
:42:57. > :43:05.other red. A keen shot coming up. - That's them all in place now. If
:43:05. > :43:15.he's on this one to the left... There's one to the right corner but
:43:15. > :43:38.
:43:38. > :43:44.He tried to bridge over the other red to take the one in the left
:43:44. > :43:51.corner. We changed his mind because that was a really tough shot. -- he
:43:51. > :44:01.changed. That is the kind of shot he would make nine/10 if he was in
:44:01. > :44:01.
:44:01. > :44:06.full flow. There's an air of sadness here, it is never nice to
:44:06. > :44:11.see any player struggling on the bigger stage of four. As Dennis
:44:11. > :44:17.mentioned earlier, if Matthew Stevens wins this frame, which she
:44:18. > :44:24.could do from this position, he could win all eight frames in this
:44:24. > :44:34.session -- which he could do. is he going to get another chance,
:44:34. > :44:37.
:44:37. > :44:47.Ryan? Matthew missed a very easy chance. Will he do it again? That's
:44:47. > :45:00.
:45:00. > :45:05.all that Ryan can hope for., or he Where is the red going? Where is
:45:06. > :45:12.the red going?! Can you believe it? He's not the best in the world with
:45:12. > :45:22.a rest but he missed it to the right jaw and that's incredible.
:45:22. > :45:23.
:45:24. > :45:28.Have a look at this again. Streak along the cushion -- straight along.
:45:28. > :45:38.Matthew must be feeling it out there because will Ryan is friendly
:45:38. > :45:41.
:45:41. > :45:47.with him. Here only had to stop for the yellow. -- he only. He missed a
:45:47. > :45:56.green earlier on in this frame and that fluke after he missed that red
:45:56. > :46:03.compounded things. We keep talking about Ryan but it is important for
:46:03. > :46:09.Matthew to put this frame away. He will be feeling a little bit sorry
:46:09. > :46:19.for his good friend, the way he has been playing here, but there's no
:46:19. > :46:20.
:46:20. > :46:27.friendship out on the Green Bays. Matthew Stevens' best break in this
:46:27. > :46:35.session is 59, you don't see that often, a player winning by such a
:46:35. > :46:42.wide margin with that kind of break. Just looking at Matthew's breaks, a
:46:42. > :46:48.44, 48, 46, 56, 49, 40. They have not been frame-winning breaks but
:46:48. > :46:56.they have been more than enough to give him that possible whitewash in
:46:56. > :47:06.this session. All eight frames. checks the score, he's 22 points in
:47:06. > :47:13.front. Just the Red and Black will do the job if he's got the angle on
:47:13. > :47:23.this red. He might have to go up for the blue, it depends. Slightly
:47:23. > :47:27.
:47:27. > :47:33.overdone it. But if he plots the blue he is 35 in front with 35 left.
:47:33. > :47:37.What does Ryan do now? He has got to get up and play in the morning.
:47:37. > :47:47.There is no way you can go straight to bed in the hotel, you have got
:47:47. > :47:55.to unwind after this. You can understand why he is shaking his
:47:56. > :48:04.head. He has never experienced a whitewash in a session before. It
:48:04. > :48:11.is quite a humiliating experience. Sometimes you have a session where
:48:11. > :48:21.you feel like you haven't been involved in any of the match at for.
:48:21. > :48:25.
:48:25. > :48:29.-- at all. He is such a nice lad, Ryan, he will probably have a smile
:48:29. > :48:36.with his good friend when he shakes hands with him but how is he
:48:36. > :48:43.feeling?! It is hard to explain. We have all been humiliated out there,
:48:43. > :48:48.everybody suffers in the Crucible. But Matthew Stevens has won every
:48:48. > :48:53.frame of this second session. He frame of this second session. He
:48:53. > :48:57.takes a strong lead into tomorrow's final session. 11 -5. Ryan Day with
:48:57. > :49:02.a huge task when they resume on Wednesday morning. We're almost at
:49:02. > :49:06.the end of our coverage on what has been a dramatic day at the Crucible.
:49:06. > :49:11.Snooker Extra is up next and you can see more of the match between
:49:11. > :49:18.Jamie Jones and Ali Carter. We are back at 10 am to see the resumption
:49:18. > :49:23.of that match and then on BBC Two at 1:30pm to C section two of Neil
:49:23. > :49:27.Robertson against O'Sullivan. Day 11 will be remembered as the day
:49:27. > :49:33.that snooker wave goodbye to its greatest ever player, and we can
:49:33. > :49:43.say one moment of final magic from the legend that is Stephen Hendry -
:49:43. > :49:43.
:49:43. > :49:48.Absolutely fantastic! There's only one Stephen Hendry. Congratulations
:49:48. > :49:54.from Stuart Bingham and the referee. Well done, Stephen, you have done
