Rocket hammers Hendry on comeback
Ronnie O'Sullivan and Stephen Hendry
O'Sullivan handed Hendry a rare whitewash
Ronnie O'Sullivan has thrashed Stephen Hendry 5-0 in the Premier League semi-finals - nine days after questioning his future in snooker.

O'Sullivan said he was planning to take a year out from the game following his defeat by Peter Ebdon in the World Championship quarter-finals.

And the world number one repeated his quit threat before his win over Hendry.

It was the first time Hendry had been whitewashed since he was blanked 9-0 by Marcus Campbell in 1998.

"That's the worst I've ever seen Stephen play," said O'Sullivan.

O'Sullivan must now beat Welshman Mark Williams in Saturday's final to win his fifth title of the season.

Williams beat Hong Kong's Marco Fu 5-0 in the other semi-final.
