Hendrys been around and among the elite for 25 years, a decade of which was spent at the top of the game and hes only on 750-ish (i think) and take Ronnie the most gifted player of his generation who can breakbuild for fun and has been around for almost 20 years and hes only on just over 600, so if these guys cant manage it, whats to suggest than any old player will be able to do it in the future.
Yes there may be more events on the horizon again, what with the PTC this season for starters, but dont forget that back in the late 80s and 90s there were plenty more playing opportunities than theres laterlly been too.

no there wasent in the early 90s there was roughly around 20 tournaments between ranking and invitationals.
this season there's about 23 if you count the PL so its something similar.

The conditions in the 80's were not as good though to break-build in. Also for the last 6 years or so Hendry and Ronnie have had around 9/10 tournaments to play in. If the 20+tournaments was constant they both would have had alot more.
I think we should be able to tell better by the end of the season but if top players are going to average 60 or 70 tournaments a season then 900/1000 centuries will be well on.

As for Ronnie getting more century's thand Hendry? That i doubt as well as Ronnie seems to be going down hill somewhat.
