Unconvincing Hendry squeezes through
Hendry: Still searching for his best form
The jury may still be out on Stephen Hendry's chances of winning a record
equalling sixth Liverpool Victoria UK Championship.
But the Scot has at least made it through to the quarter-finals with a 9-6 win over Irishman Michael Judge. Hendry trailed the world number 46 from Dublin 6-4 at his lowest point but recovered well to take the last five frames with breaks of 97, 91, 105 and 58. He also made a vital 33 clearance to draw level at 6-6.
"That got me going," he admitted afterwards. "But I can't keep waiting until it gets to that stage before my brain kicks into gear. "I must have given Michael at least 10 chances a frame. "He never played as well as he can and I'm sure he will be disappointed he didn't win the match the chances I gave him." Hendry now plays world number five Stephen Lee, who earlier beat Brian Morgan, for a place in the semi-finals. |
