Yes, Johnston-Allen owned Hendry.
Hendry was so annoyed when he lost that 3rd match that afterwards he said "I am losing to people who shouldn't be in the same room". Hendry was not a great loser.

To be a great winner, you also need to be a bad loser.

Yes, I agree. Ray Reardon and Ronnie O'Sullivan are good examples of this.

By bad loser, I kind of meant you need to hate losing.

Did my analysis of this in the pre-tournament discussion, so nothing more to add I think.
Just one more thing, found this link yesterday, with MJW talking, amongst other things, about the prospect of facing Ronnie, and Ronnie's ideia with the Darts thing, which I certainly don't agree with but seems to be gathering some supporters.

This will be the only match which of the week I'll catch absolutely none of (hopefully).
Not really fussed who wins, but I'll go for Ronnie, because at least he thinks he can beat MJW. Opposite doesn't seem true.

I expect Ronnie to win this tomorrow but I don't think that he'll just put MJW away like as if it's nothing. Many people here are underestimating MJW a lot. He'll be definitely up for this match despite his embarrassing comments he made on twitter.
It'll be also interesting to see how Ronnie will handle the situation tomorrow, given the fact that he hasn't been playing on a big stage since April. It won't surprise me at all if he'll play as good as he did in the 2014 Masters tomorrow but it won't surprise me also if he'll miss some sitters and still look for some match-sharpness.

Why hopefully, if you don't mind me asking?

Looks like I'll miss the first part of the match unfortunately. Good luck Ronnie!

He probably means that this is the only match that he'll have to miss, and that hopefully he will get to see the rest.

At least the BBC will be justified in talking about Ronnie today.
Unlike Sunday where they almost forgot Smurphy and Allen were playing.

It would be quite a surprise if Ronnie could win this tournament, given his fragile nature and temperament. I see Judd probably the favourite with his better overall playing. Ronnie is somewhere there in with a shout. O´Sullivan wouldn´t be a bad winner at all if there even ever has been a one..

Snookerbacker confirms on Twitter, Ebdon was only there until Monday. Hendry is back now.
Shame. I liked Ebdon.

http://www.inside-snooker.com/snooker/2 ... r-he-wantsIt's not the first time MJW has said this... they pay appearance money in Tennis or Golf for instance for the real top players.
Whilst this could seem very unfair on the players, etc... the fact is MJW is absolutely right, no player in the game generates the amount of buzz when Ronnie is around, and that can only be great for the game.

Lol MJW is as big a Ronnie fanboy as anyone around, but I agree with him. Pay the man what he's worth.
