I do wish Hendon (this match) and others would stop patronising all the other players though. They all know this is only a best of 5, none of them are going to go home buzzing and jumping with joy about beating ROS in a best of 5.

Yes, I'd also like to point out that the resident snooker "statistician" Hendon is talking utter crap. He stated in commentary that the run of 36 matches by Stephen Hendry would mean Ronnie would have to win the World Championship to beat it. As usual Hendon has his facts wrong. Hendry NEVER won 36 consecutive professional matches. IT'S A SIMPLE FACT. As much as Hendon likes to think he did he should check his facts before spouting crap.

Indeed.
What part of CONSECUTIVE matches is Hendon not able to grasp?

Adding crap like this tournament to consecutive match wins is just as crap..
Currently Ronnie is on 11 unbeaten run in 2016

Longest Unbeaten Run
From 17 Mar 1990 to his defeat by Jimmy White on 13 Jan 1991, Stephen Hendry won five successive titles and 36 consecutive matches in ranking tournaments. During the summer of 1992, Ronnie O'Sullivan won 38 consecutive matches, but these were in qualifying competition.

These are different records and not comparable: Ronnie's 38 match run is not at the top level (only qualifying matches) and Hendy's run is only ranking matches. Hendry's 38 RANKING match run includes losses, they are NOT CONSECUTIVE wins.
I believe Ronnie's 24 wins is a record unbeaten run at the top-level, but I am not certain. I have posted it in discussion.
