:00:34. > :00:40.Good evening and welcome to the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield for the

:00:41. > :00:44.2014 Dafabet World Championship. We are seeing Ronnie O'Sullivan book

:00:45. > :00:47.his place in the second round. Today another former world champion Rob

:00:48. > :00:51.back the years the book his place in the next round -- rolled back the

:00:52. > :01:17.years. MUSIC: "Holding back the years" by

:01:18. > :01:21.Simply Red. I kissed the carpet cause you never know when you are

:01:22. > :01:29.going to be back here. You have to enjoy and relish every single moment

:01:30. > :01:32.and that is what I am doing. He is looking very focused. This could be?

:01:33. > :01:38.Frames in a row if he could take it. That will give Stewart being a lot

:01:39. > :01:47.to think about -- that could be four frames in a row. What a comeback

:01:48. > :01:53.this has been. I was getting emotional at the end. I was trying

:01:54. > :02:03.to keep my composure. You another over until you hit the queue that

:02:04. > :02:10.time. I was not certain. You have to learn to respect it and enjoy it a

:02:11. > :02:13.little bit. I don't know where those seven years have gone, but it is a

:02:14. > :02:17.special place. The crowd were wonderful, they gave us a wonderful

:02:18. > :02:25.ovation and welcome and that is why all the players like playing here,

:02:26. > :02:31.there is no at must be like to stop -- there is no atmosphere like it.

:02:32. > :02:38.And then I in the next round. I will be giving it 100%. I am loving every

:02:39. > :02:47.minute of it. I am nice and relaxed. I am going to relish every frame and

:02:48. > :02:50.every ball. What a great story. Ken will be spending more time on the

:02:51. > :02:56.practice tables and with us in the TV studio. We wish him all the very

:02:57. > :03:01.best. One man happy to be back at the Crucible is Jamie Cope, back

:03:02. > :03:11.after a three-year absence, after overcoming a strange condition which

:03:12. > :03:16.made his hands shake. He would like to take that one again. That shake

:03:17. > :03:25.of the head tells you what he thinks of that. I was completely stuck. I

:03:26. > :03:37.had nowhere else to go. I was at a dead-end. He does not look happy

:03:38. > :03:45.with himself. Just a simple problem. Just shaking all the time.

:03:46. > :03:57.That is just the one thing that I have had to get past. You could sum

:03:58. > :03:59.it up that he had the yips. It as a performance anxiety thing where your

:04:00. > :04:06.arm does not move in the way that you want it to move, and we had to

:04:07. > :04:10.find a way of dealing with it. It was a matter of looking at what he

:04:11. > :04:15.was thinking about and why he was thinking about it, and realigning

:04:16. > :04:18.the brain, stop the brain fighting itself so that he could do the

:04:19. > :04:29.things that he could do with confidence, because the yips not

:04:30. > :04:37.every bit of confidence out of you. -- knocks every bit. Play your game.

:04:38. > :04:41.It is just one shot at the time, one frame at the time, and it does not

:04:42. > :04:47.much matter where you are playing or who you are playing. It is on the

:04:48. > :05:00.mental side. It has all been going well. That is a terrific shot he has

:05:01. > :05:06.just played. There is no doubt this man has the most enormous talent. It

:05:07. > :05:13.comes out in moments and it is worth paying money to watch him. It does

:05:14. > :05:18.not make any difference who you play at the end of the day, it is all

:05:19. > :05:24.just down to me. Jamie was coping well against Shaun Murphy, leading

:05:25. > :05:28.5-4 overnight, very tight end this evening's second session, and it

:05:29. > :05:33.went to a final frame decider. Who would hold their nerve, the match

:05:34. > :05:39.commentators, Willie Thorne and Ken Doherty.

:05:40. > :05:53.He had the chance of a plot, and he played it pretty well -- he had the

:05:54. > :05:57.chance of a pop. -- pot. Was not going to leave anything, possibly

:05:58. > :07:03.only that red that he went for. It has all worked out.

:07:04. > :07:21.That was a wonderful shot, very well judged.

:07:22. > :07:27.Good shot, even if he had slid by the reds, there was nothing he was

:07:28. > :07:50.going to leave. The brown has not come to his rescue

:07:51. > :07:55.but it is still not straightforward. He could be gone into those two reds

:07:56. > :08:00.down near the bottom right-hand corner pocket. He will be hoping for

:08:01. > :08:11.a full-ball contact and maybe trying to the black. It is not too bad. It

:08:12. > :08:17.is not too bad! Have a look at that. Without the case, had a team full

:08:18. > :08:23.ball, he would have been onto the black into the left-hand corner, but

:08:24. > :08:28.he's to have got out like that. There is pressure on every shot you

:08:29. > :09:13.play right now. That is very unlucky. Extremely unlucky.

:09:14. > :09:22.That was a long way away for Jamie. That is just engine, just pressure.

:09:23. > :09:30.If it gets anywhere near the jaws of the pocket it is a shock to nothing.

:09:31. > :09:37.-- that is just mentioned. -- tension. At this stage, you do not

:09:38. > :09:48.want to be playing with loads of side.

:09:49. > :10:01.Reported that nicely. -- potted that. If he catches the outside of

:10:02. > :10:11.those three, can he get the bottom red of the two? He would still be

:10:12. > :10:17.left, campaigning into the one just before it, he had the bottom red of

:10:18. > :10:24.the two. Into this bottom right-hand corner pocket, and that has gone

:10:25. > :10:30.wrong, and that may be end of break. I'm not sure if he has left these

:10:31. > :10:37.two roles as a plant here. -- these two balls. He has to get to the

:10:38. > :10:41.extreme left of the first red. Because the cue ball is so close, it

:10:42. > :11:42.is very difficult. He has to make it.

:11:43. > :11:51.He has played the safety shot, and a good one it is. The tension of the

:11:52. > :13:12.final frame at the Crucible is always a little bit special.

:13:13. > :13:24.He was a little bit fortunate there, Jamie Cope. He caught that red, half

:13:25. > :13:25.wall. -- have to ball. It is half a chance for Shaun Murphy, but a

:13:26. > :13:31.difficult one. That was a great, excellent pot. And

:13:32. > :13:50.he is on a colour. There is the distance. Have a look

:13:51. > :14:16.at this again. Fantastic pot. Under pressure. Top drawer.

:14:17. > :14:28.A little bit more of an angled than he would have wished for.

:14:29. > :14:32.He managed to avoid it with a little bit of side and that is another

:14:33. > :14:47.excellent shot. He can play on the bottom red of the

:14:48. > :14:49.three and in turn, that will open another red. He is looking at a one

:14:50. > :15:18.down the question. Every red and Black here does make a

:15:19. > :15:34.difference. Perfect angle to play just past the pink.

:15:35. > :15:45.Has always been good at closing out matches.

:15:46. > :15:54.The green is in the way to come down the right-hand side of the table.

:15:55. > :16:01.This is not guaranteed to get on the only remaining loose red which is

:16:02. > :16:03.nearest the right-hand side pocket. That is what he is looking to get

:16:04. > :16:22.on. It is amazing, this game. It never

:16:23. > :17:03.seizes to amaze us. -- ceases. Anything is possible when the

:17:04. > :17:09.pressure comes on. That was a good part from Jamie Cope. But he will

:17:10. > :17:24.have to go in and out of baulk. This is unmissable. Very good. Where is

:17:25. > :17:35.the cue ball? Not bad. About as best as he could have hoped for. Even

:17:36. > :17:37.though the lead is only nine, it is amazing how important they are with

:17:38. > :17:55.only three reds on the cushion. He has played the cannon on the two

:17:56. > :18:07.reds. Or he can play a cannon next to the pink. His choice. That is a

:18:08. > :18:13.poor shot, he had plenty of room to play that cannon. A bit of tension

:18:14. > :18:16.coming into his arm. It was a big target, those two reds on the

:18:17. > :18:36.right-hand side of the table. Beautifully poised, this final

:18:37. > :18:50.frame. Just one point between the two players. After 18.5 frames. Much

:18:51. > :19:14.time goes to six hours and 15 minutes. -- match time.

:19:15. > :19:31.He has got a lovely angle on the green.

:19:32. > :19:40.Just not hard enough. He could have hit that as hard as he wanted. He is

:19:41. > :19:42.unlucky because after he got the kiss, you would think he would be on

:19:43. > :19:50.one of them? Needs to find the top cushion.

:19:51. > :20:19.Pretty good. Not quite sure if Shaun Murphy will

:20:20. > :20:28.bring the cue ball back to nestle into this red will stop he does not

:20:29. > :20:30.want to leave the other one. That is exactly what he has done. It was

:20:31. > :20:50.very, very careless. He has got a lovely angle on the

:20:51. > :21:27.pink now. Playing some very good safety. There

:21:28. > :21:31.is a lot of tension out there. When he has not got the desired position

:21:32. > :21:38.he has played excellent safety. It is very difficult to miss the double

:21:39. > :21:44.his on this chart. He played direct and that is why he got the

:21:45. > :21:52.double-kiss. -- shot. It was always going to be a double-kiss. Once he

:21:53. > :21:55.has got the double-kiss he will be pleased he has left a bit of

:21:56. > :21:57.distance between these two balls. Although I am sure Jamie will take

:21:58. > :22:18.it on. Pretty close, but he has got second

:22:19. > :22:47.prize. Not too bad. They could have been

:22:48. > :23:00.worse. The red has crept up the side cushion.

:23:01. > :23:11.That was a surprise he took that on. It was a difficult pot and he has

:23:12. > :23:19.got away with it. Is the planned there? It is tough to get the cue

:23:20. > :23:28.ball back into baulk. He may risk this one along the cushion.

:23:29. > :23:42.Just wondering will he play the extreme left of it and tried to

:23:43. > :23:51.bring the cue ball back up to baulk. He didn't fancy either one. You

:23:52. > :23:53.could cut the tension with a knife. Both players under pressure in this

:23:54. > :24:10.little exchange. That was risky. He has got to get

:24:11. > :24:16.distance. He could be in trouble. He could leave a pot but also he has

:24:17. > :24:23.got an easy snooker, here. The cue ball behind the blue but the pot is

:24:24. > :24:28.on. The way Shaun Murphy has been playing, he is not going to refuse

:24:29. > :24:36.this. Do I screw back for the green or just play the hole for the blue?

:24:37. > :24:49.He did not get into the cue ball said he cannot get onto a red from

:24:50. > :24:58.there. Didn't get into that at all. Needed a little bit more screw on

:24:59. > :25:08.the cue ball. He can part of the blue. -- pot the blue.

:25:09. > :25:40.It is a good hit. If it wasn't the last frame, he would be taking along

:25:41. > :25:59.pot on. This is a little bit more difficult

:26:00. > :26:10.to get away with. He would like to get onto the one nearest the pocket.

:26:11. > :26:38.This is a chance for Shaun Murphy to win the frame and the match.

:26:39. > :26:45.Nice and confident. He has got a good angle on the brown. Get close

:26:46. > :26:54.to the red. He needs a nice angle on that last

:26:55. > :27:17.red. He has not hit that the best. We

:27:18. > :27:19.know he is good with the rest, but this is a bit more difficult than he

:27:20. > :27:21.would have liked,
