On January 7, 2022, Beijing time, the snooker Elders Championship ended the quarterfinals competition, and the final four were released. Hendry lost 1-4 to Ken Dahdi and missed the semifinals. Jimmy White eliminated Wayne Cooper 4-1 to advance easily. The other two final four seats belong to Peter Lanes and David Leary.
The Veterans Championships are also star-studded, with Hendry, Ken Dahdi and Jimmy White all legends on the stage, and they are still continuing their careers. However, compared to before, their competitive status has greatly declined, and It has been a year since Hendry returned to the professional arena, but he is still in a state of deception, not only can not go too far in the professional arena, but even the senior game is difficult to compete for the championship.
Since his comeback, Hendry has participated in many professional ranking tournaments, most of the time in the first round, at most to the second round, is this not a bully? In addition, hendry could not reach the final even if he participated in the Senatorial Tournament. In this year's Senior England Championship, Hendry fought hard in the first round for 5 sets and passed 3-2 thrillingly. In the second round, Hendry took on his contemporary Ken Dahdi.
In terms of fame and once competitiveness, Ken Dahdi is certainly inferior to Hendry. However, ken Dahdi, 52, has been playing in professional competitions, his world ranking is 77, and he has also played well in some moments. So, facing today's Hendry, Ken Dahdi was confident and ended up winning 4-1 easily to advance to the final four against Peter Lanes in the semi-finals. Hendry folded the Elder Race again, is this not a deception?
Hendry's goal is to improve his position in the professional arena and return to Crucible, a goal that is too far away for now. At least so far, Hendry hasn't proven himself the right decision to return to the pros, and if he enjoys the game, that's certainly no problem, and if he's disappointed by losing or makes his position damaged, then this comeback really doesn't make any sense.
O'Sullivan's good friend Jimmy White also played in the Senior England Championship, and he was in even better shape, eliminating Wayne Cooper 4-1 to easily advance to the final four. At this point, the quarter-finals of the Old England Championship are all over, and the final four are officially released, with the first semi-final being Jimmy White playing David Leary, followed by Peter Lanes against Ken Dahdi.
Veteran World Championship champion David Leary is in good shape, he played 4-0 in the quarter-finals, easily eliminated Joe Johnson, although David Lirie is not as famous as Jimmy White and Ken Dahdi, but from the competitive state, David Leary is the favorite to win this year's Elderly Championship!
