Stephen Hendry issued a warning about the World Snooker Championship "Worldwide".
On April 26, 2024, according to Hegel, 7-time world champion Stephen Hendry believes that Ronnie O'Sullivan defeated Jackson Page 10-1 in the first round and is expected to win this year's World Championships.
The Rockets looked in good form, turning down the 22-year-old's challenge and earning a spot in the second round against Ryan Day.
Stephen Hendry witnessed the 48-year-old's jogging win and had high hopes for the world number one as he put in a strong performance on Wednesday. The young player refers to Hendry's ridicule of the opponent's snooker superpower as an eternally young old boy.
The Scot has been impressed with O'Sullivan and is unsure if anyone will come close to him at Sheffield this year, let alone beat him.
Speaking on the BBC, Hendry said: "He always beats the people he should have beaten when he should have beaten them, better than anyone who has played this game. ”
"If you're there today and the Rockets are 8-1 up, you can book lunch at 2 because you know he's going to beat Jackson before 2. It's incredible. Paige couldn't even survive the break in the second period, so he went out early.
He didn't hesitate to seal the win. It's something you can't teach, you either have it or you don't, just to be able to dominate your opponents.
"I tend to think that this World Championships could be a parade, I really think so. I think he looked like he was there, the game started and a lot of the players left. ”
"The two players who beat him this year – Mark Williams and Anda Zhang – are both out. Judd Trump could meet him in the semifinals, and he (Trump) has never beaten him (the Rockets) since 2020. It could be a battle between two generations of players for power. ”
O'Sullivan, who turns 49 later this year, shows little sign of slowing down, and Hendry predicts that the Rockets will continue to be championship contenders six years later.
Hendry said he was as healthy as anyone present. He doesn't play every game, and if he wants to, I can predict that he will play until he is 55.
Xiaote is currently winning four games in a row in the final minute of the 16-8 first stage of the game, leading the third-rate player Tom Ford 6-2. The Rockets will face Ryan Day, who has dismounted seeded Katra, in the second round. (Welcome to click to pay attention to moisturizing AB, please indicate the source for reprinting, thank you)
