2013/2014 Neil Robertson 810 100 8.1
This is the only Hendry season I could find where he played a comparable number of frames to Neil Robertson in the current season. The season comes from right in the middle of Hendry's most successful winning years, though admittedly it wasn't one of his more impressive averages. Perhaps that shows how hard it is to maintain an average of 10/11, which is what Hendry typically achieved in seasons where he competed in many less frames. Perhaps it shouldn't be underestimated just how difficult it is to maintain such efficiency of heavy scoring over such a large number of frames.
Neil Robertson is equalling the best historical rates and has maintained it over many frames. The only other person who has done this is Ronnie O'Sullivan, observe below:
2006/2007 Ronnie O'Sullivan 322 43 7.49
2007/2008 Ronnie O'Sullivan 383 50 7.66
2008/2009 Ronnie O'Sullivan 329 38 8.66
A sequence of frames over three seasons that give rise to the following statistics:
Ronnie O'Sullivan 1034 131 7.89
Neil Robertson 810 100 8.1
Robertson has achieved a consistency of scoring that puts him in a special league and is more prolific than any period of century getting by Stephen Hendry as far as I can tell.
Robertson has created the most sensational one season burst of scoring consistency perhaps
ever seen.Ronnie has the longevity of scoring over the three seasons at a clip of about 8, the same as Robbo, which is also very impressive in a slightly different way.
I'm doubtful as to whether Ronnie or Hendry would have produced a season like Neil has. They might have done but they might not have done. Ronnie? Doubtful, given his temperament and general ways. Hendry? Maybe, but his best effort over a comparable number of frames in a single season is way way way off from Robertson's mark.
Robertson's achievement gets my highest praise, basically.
