WTF are you talking about? Peak Williams got outclassed by an already slightly past peak Hendry in the 99 world final.

Hendry was nowhere near past his peak in 99. That's just revisionist history to suggest otherwise.

The players ranked 1 and 2 in the World plus a recent former World Champion, are electing to 'skip' the competition.
Sadly, it IS just 'another' ranking event these days, and players will pick-and-choose which tournaments they enter.


It's NI Open, not the UK. They are all in the UK.

Thanks for clearing-up my confusion.
No wonder I was so 'staggered' by that news. I'd almost literally lost my faith in the UK there!
Cheers, Dan-Cat. :-)

Yes he was, his peak was 1990-1997. in 98 Hendry lost 3 times to Tony Drago who he had NEVER lost to before in 12 previous matches and he also lost to Jimmy White 4 straight times from 98-99 who he had not lost to for SIX years prior to that. Does that sound like Hendry was at his best form then? But as you hate Hendry I guess you'd never admit it.

Wouldnt call this one painful. Most of them were only here because of the huge prize money involved, not much pressure here.

Higgins though handed him one of his most painful losses of career, that 2010 UK Final..
