everyone who thinks that hendry gonna win this lives in a dreamworld

he hasnt any kind of tournament for 7 years. and he should win the WC straight away. no chance.

maguire, trump or neil will him easly

You can never discount anyone - they are all good enough to win it - Hendry has played very poor tonight and still won the session 7-1 against one of the best in the world. Snooker is a funny old game (I agree I don't think he will win though )

money come to daddy!!

12-4 and had he won the close frame he would have won the match wow

the scoreline is really flattering

[Masterdoctorgenius]

for gods sake

hopefully the other clash of legends is better than this

[peterpackage]

in some way, this might take the pressure off Hendry against Maguire. No one will pick him to win

trump maybe, but maguire wont if hendry shows up, your talking as if maguire is playing fantastic like robertson, at least he's playing very well, maguire is so hit and miss, its gonna be very close between those 2, it doesnt matter whether he hasnt done anything in 7 years, if he's playing pretty well or better, and believes then it can happen for him, if he plays like he did this morning on a regular basis, ie 2 sessions in every match then he has a chance of winning it, id still have money on robertson or ronnie, but dont just write off hendry!

I don't think the scoreline is flattering at all. Stephen was struggling tonight but that's quite possibly the worst session of snooker John has ever player. Only 1 break over 40 (a 41) since frame 5 of the match isn't going to win frames against anyone, even a struggling Stephen Hendry. John was lucky to get a frame IMHO.

its just really good to see higgins suffer
made my day!

I doubt many people expected Hendry to get to the final in 2002 having won only one title in the previous years but he got all the way to the final and was within one frame of winning it. If he'd potted that long blue in the final frame maybe he would have eight titles now.

Is he suffering though? With a performance like that, you really do have to wonder what's going on. I'm willing to bet there's plenty folk on here thinking "dodgy"

[wordsworth]

Not Higgins' year perhaps. Wins it ever other year - 2007, 2009, 2011 - 2013?

[BikiniKill]

I am ridiculously happy to see Hendry leading, but he'll have to play a lot better to get any further than beating Higgins. And I can see Higgins pulling back a few frames from this one too, he's not usually one to be counted out.
