Hendry v White

[wildJONESEYE]

Fancy jimmy to win, hes having a good season, a lot of good results, which brings confidence, and hes scoring heavily when in amongst them.

counts for nothing when its a TV Match infront of a crowd in the UK.

Hendry all the way.

Not really.

This is from worldsnooker site :
World’s Top Snooker Stars To Compete In Masters

The best 16 players in the world will make up the field of snooker's most celebrated invitation event, The Masters, in January.

The tournament will feature the sport’s in-form players, as the new rolling ranking system gave the chance for all professionals to strive for a place in the top 16 ahead of the seeding cut-off point, which fell earlier this month.

A spokesman for World Snooker said: “The Masters is all about prestige, it’s an invitation event for the very best, and we’ve got all of the elite players in the line-up. To ensure that all the in-form players are there, if a player from outside the top 16 wins the UK Championship in December, we will award him a wild card entry into the tournament.

“It’s going to be a glorious eight days of snooker and the atmosphere at Wembley Arena is like no other venue. We’re urging all snooker fans, and those who want to find out what the sport is all about, to get their tickets booked for what is one of the most thrilling events on the sporting calendar.”

The tournament runs from January 9 to 16, 2011, at Wembley Arena, and as it stands the first round matches are:

Sunday January 9
1.30pm
Mark Selby v Mark King

7pm
Ali Carter v Peter Ebdon

Monday January 10
1.30pm
Mark Williams v Ding Junhui

7pm
John Higgins v Graeme Dott

Tuesday January 11
1.30pm
Ronnie O'Sullivan v Mark Allen

7pm
Stephen Maguire v Marco Fu

Wednesday January 12
2pm
Neil Robertson v Stephen Hendry

7pm
Shaun Murphy v Jamie Cope

that is the draw for the masters it doesn't matter if hendry falls out of the top 16 after the UK he will be at the masters no matter what.

the as it stands the first round matches are: is in relation to a Wild Card will be added IF a player from outside the top 16 on this list http://www.worldsnooker.com/seedings.htm wins the UK

yes he really thrived at the masters didnt he.

even last night the thought of playing Hendry on TV almost caught him out and cost him the match but he won 2 scrappy last frames.

[jw147]

oh dear, and hendrys been putting in brilliant performances recently in front of the cameras? Jimmy performed much better than him at the world open tv stage against ronnie, and is more than capable of beating him, simple as that.

About 10 to 15 years ago i would be with you on Hendry, wouldn't give Jimmy a prayer, but at this moment I honestly rate Jimmy in better shape.

[Matt_2745]

Really hope Stephen can do it but I'm not confident.

That said, this is probably the sort of match that he needs, more chance of him getting up for it than if he had drawn someone with a lower profile I think.
