HENDRY IS BACK! 2 YEAR TOUR CARD!

Called it.

not a COINCIDENCE that Hendry decided to come back after Ronnie's 6th WC win. He genuinely wants to give a few more cracks at the WC at least

all his records are gone, BUT it will be in vain IMO but he'll try which is the main thing I guess

Ronnie will last much longer cuz well, he has genuine longevity and might spur him on more

Hendry’s back because Sight Right has finally given him some confidence in his game that’s been lacking for 10+ years. I think it would have happened regardless of Ronnie’s 6th win.

I feel like it’s less farcical right now because so many of the tour could feasibly have travel problems and miss significant chunks of the tour.

Doubt it he just wanted to use that technique for the Seniors and get a place in the champion of champions, he was more than content with that

whole another level when you return back to the Tour. Different ball game. If Ronnie was on 5 he would've never come back, certainly not on the professional tour.

The timing of it is spot on Hendry's not the type of guy who'd come back just for "fun" like Jimmy White keeps playing despite all the losses, his WC is legit under threat

No way would Hendry be coming back if it weren’t for Sight Right. The Seniors was a chance for him to test where his game was, particularly potting. And his long potting was excellent throughout.

I agree he wouldn’t be coming back if he didn’t think he could win things. But I don’t think he gave a rubbish about the Seniors beyond an easy payday and to test his game. And yeah the CoC would have been a nice bonus but Hendry wouldn’t have wanted to get there and be embarrassed.

I think he’s taken the card because he legitimately thinks he can do damage. He joined Sight Right well before Ronnie’s 6th win and I don’t think he’d have done that without a return to the tour in mind - why would he waste the money for the sake of beating a bunch of hasbeens?

Hendry only wanted to get into the CoC that was his only goal he actually wanted to play there, he's never wanted to come back to the tour in fact he hated the idea of it and invitational cards until now. What after 8 years and Ronnie wins his 6th he decides to come back now?

either way he's a goal driven character he knows his WC is under threat and his ranking title record got broken, if he didn't come back to win more things then it'd be pointless, he's trying to salvage a few things.

He's not here for the fun of it that's not Hendry

I 100% agree that he wouldn’t have come back for the fun of it. No arguments there.

But as I say he joined Sight Right long before Ronnie’s 6th world title. He wouldn’t have done that just to get knocked out in the first round of the CoC, for the exact reasons you mentioned.

He’s back because he feels his game’s in good enough shape (or can be) to win tournaments.

He must see he has a chance to do some damaged or why would he come back sure as hell hes not coming back to lose early and if he does can't see him staying long.


I Wished he hadent bothered not a fan of these wild cards

This must be a weird feeling for you as a fan.

I think the Seniors showed him enough to be confident that Sight Right is working. His long potting was great and you’d hope the rest would come with match practice. Whether it makes him successful at tour level remains to be seen.

This should be very interesting, to say the least.
