In 2012, after Stephen Hendry lost 2:13 to his fellow countryman Maguire at the World Championships, he felt stubborn and eager to win, feeling landless and left Crucible with a "shameful" record. The former emperor of billiards bid farewell to his career in this way, which can not help but make people sigh!
And when it comes to Hendry's career, it has to be mentioned in the nineties. Hendry's record in the 1990s can be described as a day in the sky, a lonely defeat: in 1990, the 21-year-old Hendry defeated Jimmy 18:12 at the World Championships. White, in one fell swoop, became the youngest world champion in history. In the five years from 92 to 1996, Hendry successfully defended the World Championship five times. In 1994, Hendry was awarded the MBE by the British Royal Family (in 1988, Steve Davis was awarded the Order of mbe by the British Royal Family, and on 30 December 2015, O'Sullivan was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE)).
That same year, Hendry overtook Ray. Lilton and Steve. Davis, becoming the highest-achieving World Championship winner in contemporary snooker history. Throughout the 1990s, Hendry won a total of 27 ranking titles, accounting for more than 2/3 of the 36 ranking championships in his career.
In his 26-year career, Hendry has won 7 World Championships, shot 11 out of 147, and ranked no. 1 in the world for 9 seasons...
In the words of the World Taiwan Federation: "He changed the way snooker played, turning it into a strategic and tactical sport in a short time, rather than just blindly attacking." ”
In his own style, he brings joy to millions of fans around the world. He is more eager to win than the average person, and although he has retired, the snooker spirit he represents will not stop!
