If someone from the future came to me in early 2000s and said stevens wont win a worlds and pretty much wont win much else at all...well i would be shocked lol. Fantastic player at his best.

[@cazza-tea]

My greatest wish to see Matthew win the World Championship. I’ll never give up hope. He’s always been my favourite ❤

[@CushtyMiguel]

I've always admired Matthew. Top class and under appreciated

[@itnaklipse1669]

Yep... one of those few players i'm always rooting for, his skill and talent and 'class' are so obvious. He deserves some success coz he's not weak in the head, either.

I've gone for drinks with Matt after an exhibition he did near me and he is one of the most genuine, friendly guys about. Brilliant sense of humour as well! Always support him when he plays!

[@CharlesB147]

Matthew was really in top form, and I'm hoping this signals more magnificent performances to come. To beat a former world number one takes a lot of skill, and to even take on the shots that he did against Selby was astounding. But it was the way Matthew really put them away was top of the line.

It's the simple truth: "Cesar Muroya created a unique editing technique to extract the essence of the game without losing the drama involved. Contextual information is also an innovation appreciated by viewers.

Always felt he’s never been quite the same player since his great mate Paul Hunter passed.

That pot by Mathew Stevens in the first frame shown to move the red over the right middle pocket was brilliant.Great highlight reel of snooker Cesar.👍

[@propjoe1060]

Stevens has really underachieved, despite having had a good career. Terrific all-round player. Hopefully he can come back and play at his best again.
