Hendry's Crucible Run 2010

Postby Bourne

How do you see Stephen Hendry's chances of making it number-eight at the Crucible this year ?

He's been drawn in the 'quarter of death' featuring O'Sullivan, Selby, Liang and Williams, and starts his campaign against Anda Zhang who won more maches than anyone else to qualify.

yes i also voted for second round. He is very capable of getting into the final but his draw is too tough i feel. One thing is for sure tho not one man in the world wants to play him at Sheffield he is a very dangous man there even at 41.

Alex- Hendry is capable of beating Selby in a longer format but i think your right Selby will feel it is now time to take the big one he'll fancy himself this year. It would be great to see Higgins v Selby World final again.

I voted Q-F

I notice Hendry raises his game at the world championship and Selby is inconsistent and I think Chinese whatshisname will be overawed on his debut so a quarter final loss for Hendry whilst making a couple of centuries

The man will always have my respect, but he's got his hands full. Me head says No. My heart says Yes. :)

I'll be honest Bourne, I know nothing about Zhang Anda but from the way he beat Ricky Walden in the last qualifying round, if he is anywhere near Stephen Hendry after 15 or 16 frames have been played, we may well see an almighty shock as this Zhang Anda comes across as any other 18 year old kid would. Fearless.

I am excited to see how Zhang handles it, everything i've read from people who've seen him say he's a very smart player who doesn't let anything affect him. If he takes that philosophy into the match, he'll be more than a handful because Hendry himself probably hasn't seen him play so won't really know what to expect.

I'm still waiting for wild's vote by the way, i'll know when it comes up ;)

BTW i went Evens another Quarter Final for Hendry but if he plays Ronnie as indicated he hasent got Enough to beat him Williams on the other hand 13th semi coming up <ok>

I haven't a clue what Zhang is like but I'll presume Hendry will beat him. He'll knock in a few centuries and everyone will start talking about Hendry the Eight. Then Selby will beat him 13-9.

There's Hendry fans on 606 and Hendon's blog talking about him making the final. rofl

2nd round to Selby, however Selby will have to be on form to beat him (and he knows it)
