Dott unfazed by pressure

Bookies’ outsider Graeme Dott showed few nerves in his first Embassy World Championship semi-final as he moved into an impressive 3-1 lead by the mid-session interval against Matthew Stevens at The Crucible Theatre.

The stakes were high for Dott who needed to upset the odds and overcome his Welsh opponent to retain his place in snooker’s top 16 for another season.
