Mark Selby vs Stephen Hendry - Discussion

[hotpot]

Got to go for Selby for this one . We see glimses of the old Hendry in spells , i suppose we,re all waiting for him to produce it for a longer spell .

[FOXMULDER]

I wonder what the odds were before the event on a Hendry v Davis final.

[FerruleFox]

Hendry has no chance against Selby. Even zhang put him in big trouble and the boy is 18...

Davis had no chance against Higgins either.

Davis had no chance against Higgins either.

Selby played way better in his R1 match than Higgins did... if that means anything.
But Hendry should be expected to improve, true.

In pretty much all R2 matches that have started so far, player's form hasn't changed that much from R1. Weird.

[Mr P]

I don't think we will see Hendry playing his form from about 15 years ago ever again, hasn't produced it for the last 5/6 years and could be one of the nxt to drop out of the Top 16.

Lets all hope Stephen will surprise us

I've been hoping that for too long now.

I think selbs will end up triumphant, especially if he continues like he played against Ken. Looking forward to seeing the first session of this match, should be a good'un!

Selby makes it 3 in a row with a 96 to go 5-4 ahead.

Hendry still suffering the effects of losing the 7th frame after being 75-0 ahead with 67 points remaining?

Dig in Stephen

[Mr P]

It's now 7-4 to Selby, who has now won 5 frames in a row.

[Odrl]

Great clearance from Selby to lead 8-4 now. He only needs two of the last four now to have a big lead for the final session.

You could tell from Hendry's yawning that he wasn't ready this morning. But Selby seems extremely focused and concentrated.

[spike]

What a hammer blow for Hendry in losing that 12th frame, when he looked for all the world that he was going to take it.

Fantastic opening red from Selby to turn it into a frame winning clearance. Blue to pink was pretty special too.

Cannot see anyway back for Hendry now, Selby just looks way too strong!

I'm fairly sure that I don't want to know the answer to this.

What's the score?!

[hitandhope]

It is possible the MSI has done Hendry some good, not so much for Mark though, come on Mark, don't let your lead slip too much!!
