HENDRY IS BACK! 2 YEAR TOUR CARD!

Iranu wrote:Question: what exactly IS the player he once was?

Because in the few seasons leading up to his retirement he really wasn’t all that good and was protected largely by the two year ranking system and tired draw.

Judging by how unhappy he was with his form then, I doubt he’d be coming back just to match that.

Thank you. I misspelled it because i’m tiered.

A similar one-off achievement may not be out of the question for Sourface. Don't see him doing anything on a consistent basis though.

I’d imagine being match-sharp played a big part in Davis managing to stay relevant for so long. So it’s something Hendry will have to get back under his belt, before anyone has any real idea whether he can become a dangerous player again. Seniors is one thing, the main tour is another completely.

I’m not knocking him. I hope he can put some sort of consistency together. It’d be great to watch.

You raise good points.

He certainly won't get match fit by not playing any matches, will he?

Since his retirement most of Hendry's records have been broken and his 'GOAT' status is largely gone. He might be looking at his legacy differently now and feel like if he could be competitive in his 50's it would be a huge achievement.

He said he does care about the total tally of world titles and that he's hoping Ronnie won't break that record.

Alright.

He's not that bothered about most of his records, I should've said.

Besides, I doubt that has anything to do with his return either way. He can't seriously believe that he has another Crucible win in him, can he?

If Jimmy does, what makes you think Hendry doesn't ?!?

Yeah, but Jimmy is deluded.

I'm starting to think it's all a PR stunt and he isn't actually going to play in anything. Would be such a Hearn move TBH.
