Stevens made a shaky start to the evening session
|
Matthew Stevens survived a major scare to beat Jimmy White 9-7 and book his place in the UK Championship final.
Stevens went into the evening session leading 5-3 and needing just four more frames for victory.
But White won the next two and had Stevens in trouble as he went 7-6 up with another two-frame burst.
Stevens, however, hit back to level, moved in front with a 62 break and won the next 62-24 to set up a meeting with Stephen Hendry or Ronnie O'Sullivan.
