Stephen Hendry Snooker Cue
Stephen won the Scottish Amateur Championship and also became the youngest ever entrant in the World Amateur Championship. In 1985, after retaining the Scottish Amateur Championship, he turned professional. At 16 years and three months old he was the youngest ever professional.
The cue with which Stephen Hendry won his seven world titles has been broken by airline baggage handlers. It gives Hendry a dilemma. Changing cues can be an ordeal for the top players because no two are the same.
Players can only insure their cues for face value, which is usually no more than £40. Increased airline security since September 11 has stopped players taking their cue cases into aircraft cabins. Hendry, 34, discovered the breakage on his return to Heathrow from tournaments in Hong Kong and Bangkok and now hopes that his cue doctor, Lawrie Annandale, can repair the damage. The season’s first world ranking tournament, the LG Cup, is only five weeks away.
“The bottom 15 inches is broken off but the shaft is still intact,” said Annandale. “I’m going to fix another butt. Stephen seems calm, but is obviously very worried and only Stephen will know if the cue plays exactly the same.”
He had used the cue – a gift from his parents when he was a child – throughout his professional career. He nearly lost it in 1990 when it was stolen during the Rothmans Grand Prix. It was, however, returned when a reward of £10,000 was offered. Adapted from Clive Everton, 2/03/2003 update.
Stephen Hendry Vs Ronnie O’Sullivan
O’Sullivan finished off a brilliant March by beating Neil Robertson (13-11) at Venue Cymru in Wales to win the Tour Championship and claim his 36th tournament crown. Rocket managed to duplicate his win over the ‘Thunder from Down Under’, much like he did in the Players Championship, but the Australian was a much trickier customer tonight.
In that previous final, O’Sullivan breezed past Robertson in a (10-4) victory but the Melbourne-born potter put up a hefty fight before falling at the last hurdle. He said: “It is the different emotions he gives out. In the last two or three frames, he is verging on boredom out there.”
But O’Sullivan prevailed in the evening session, never letting the lead out of his sight. The pair tussled and toiled with one another, with the scores tied at (10-10) at one point. But the strength of O’Sullivan prevailed in the end, winning three of the last four frames to claim the title. And in the process, the 43-year-old has now won 36 ranking titles – equalling fellow legend Hendry’s record.
The Scotsman won the last of his titles in 2005, enjoyed his best success in the game during the 90s before retiring in 2012. However, O’Sullivan does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon as he looks to make the record his own. The Wordsley-born ace revealed on Twitter that he intends to keep going.
“Enjoyed a couple of chill days at the @ElmTreeLlan Llandudno before my matches. They really look after their guests,” he wrote. “Superb service and great rooms with amazing views, can’t wait to come back and visit you all again.” By Callum Vurley on 25th March 2019
