Excellent video. I am Ronnie fan but here I couldn't help but root for Stevens. What a great game.

[dunngyllite]

I remember having seen that match back then, but a special edition made by Cesar is always welcome :)

[Heathen]

Love watching these two play each other because of the similarities in their cue action.

[FloydMaxwell]

The precision and creative shot making in that first frame is almost unbelievable. Making the impossible (for everyone else) seem ordinary.

[mikemmikem]

While ROS is an amazing potter I think his greatest asset is his ability to consistently maintain positional control. His cue ball accuracy is off the chart.

[jmm]

Absolutely stunning to hear how often these commentators are wrong, especially Dale.

[nickllama]

Hey, Cesar spliced in footage of one of my shots at 22:53!

[jeffreyhampton]

Wow. Great choice. Very strange, Ronnie not sticking the dagger in.

[tinkertailor]

A few mystifying shots there by both, but overall a very entertaining match.

[anish.seeniraj]

At 19:58, can Ronnie not skim off the right side (Ronnie's right) of the red closest to the black cushion with high-right english to return to baulk? Or did he not play that because getting cover behind yellow-green would've been hard?

[mvrambags]

Ronnie especially seems agitated. Some reckless shot choices and wide misses. Offensive yes, but far from his top form. Enjoying watch nevertheless though, this match. Love the editing.

[tonybarfridge]

Was that Ebdon commenting "come on Matthew"?

[RustyRoger]

I still don't know what a kick is that they keep complaining about! What is it and how does it affect the shot?

[rm]

I wonder how much money Ronnie had on Matthew. Still my favourite player but some of his results due to wreckless decisions at key moments, are questionable.

А я думал Стивенс на пенсии уже - забросил снукер… 🤔
