Hendry vs White was a great announcement but a terrible spectacle.
Hendry’s century on his comeback debut was something a bit special.
Amazing that these two got drawn together.

Not sure which to go for here. If it's purely on what transpired, then it has to be Hendry's century in his comeback, as the Hendry-White match was pretty dire, standard-wise. However, the announcement of and anticipation for the Hendry-White match was one of the most exciting periods of last season for me.

I'll go with Hendry getting the century.
These two options feel like the same choice, really. But Hendry's comeback as a whole was pretty cack. He waited months to actually play, and only won one match when he did. (Which was a pretty low standard match all round.)
The century on it's own was a highlight of his comeback though.

Is Hearn in charge of the draw?!

I guess so, in that he was in charge of everything to do with World Snooker.
I don't know who physically made the draw.
