Davis has played in qualifiers for years but I can't really see Hendry ever doing that. Horses for courses I guess.These guys should be going to Europe. It is the future of the game after all.

Obviously he has two children now and he has spoken a lot about practising different sports with Blain.
I’m not sure Hendry sees a whole lot of value in travelling away from his family for tournaments that he does not enjoy and provide little in terms of achievement for what he already has. He knows the consequence of this in terms of his ranking but he is at a stage in his career were I feel he is accepting it.

What is the point of practising 5 hours per day, travelling across Europe to play and lashing out at 30% balls when he has no confidence? None. So either stay at home or remember that you will not out pot the top 40 in the world anymore. Who knows winning the odd match might even make him smile..
