for a moment then at 5 nil i thought that he might win all 8 frames and ITV 4 will have to put on an episode of Minder or the Sweeney tonight. which tbh i would of rather of had than what was on show from Ronnie. Still two good frames to get back into it a bit.
The start of Stephen Hendry's comeback. Live coverage on Eurosport 9am- 11am & 18.15 - 21.00
Hendry tonight ETA 7pm start, would love to see him win his first match but highly unlikely when he is up against a seasoned pro. Still will be great to see him back, hope he is looking in reasonable knick.
Speaking of old dogs, well comebacks. Jimmy White was 3-0 down to O'Connor, has just won 4-3, played some good stuff and looked pretty solid tbf, Great come back!
Personally i think it will be very tough to come back and win, however the fact he has left it this long makes me think he wont unless he is at a reasonable standard. I think he loses but hope i am wrong and hope its a close one, last years seniors (or whenever it was) he looked in good knick so i am hopeful he can do it just wouldn't back him.
Not doing a Hendry and coming back myself yet 🤣🤣 but seen a few comments about his match so thought I would quickly post my opinion on tonight
Hendry came out of retirement and received his invitational tour card at the start of the season, he said he would not enter a tournament until his game was at a level where he could compete with other players, he has waited 7/8 months and has been practicing all that time.
The fact he is now in this event shows he has confidence in his game.
He has been working non stop with Steve Feeney and Sight Right who helped Mark Williams come from almost falling of the tour to winning the World Championship.
Hendry said a few days ago he felt his game was better now than the last few years before he retired
IMO he will win tonight and possibly the next round depending who he gets(either Honghao or Hawkins)
Also worth baring in mind Selt is a good friend of his and said the other day he will be the most hated man in snooker if he wins so that may be in the back of his mind.
Selt hasnt had a great season a few 2nd rounds but nothing amazing

Welcome back buddy/ Boss! well not fully but nice to see your name pop up here..
I sort of agree with that, bar i think he loses, Selt although inconsistent probably isn't the easiest draw. I just hope its a good game and he has a chance, a bit of a shame there isn't an audience really as that would have been special.
