Jimmy played really well 👏👏
No one can stop Jimbo
He owns the seniors
79 clearance in frame 3 as well.
Jimmy v Ken would be a good final if they aren't in the same half of the draw... Not Lilley again, or Michael Holt
Does anyone remember https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenball
I never watched it unfortunately.
Just True, it rings a bell
I think it came on the weekends in the Summer of 1995. It must be on YouTube somewhere…
Yea, I've just watched a 4 min piece on it, I think I do remember it... But you can tell it why it was a 1 season wonder
Lol I just enjoyed Ronnie knocking out Hendry and Jimmy winning a final eventually
Alex Higgins played too…
how can Hendry go from being after Ronnie the greatest ever to a club standard player
he's just so shiiite now, it's unreal
I can't understand that either, you'd think he'd have raised his standard a bit now... John Parrott retires after losing 3-0... He was dire though....
What age did hendry lose it?
Players like Ronnie and Higgins have continued competing at the highest level well into the 40s
Hendry retired in 2012 at 43... He's been finished for about 4 years in my reckoning, he made the semi of the Worlds in 2008, & got smashed by Ronnie, so I reckon he was 38-39
Hendry was looking shaky in 1996 when he was only 27, completely lopsided draw meant Ronnie, Higgins, Jimmy, Steve, Ebdon were all on one side and Hendry hoovered up the other side. However, he was still amazing until 1999 and still very good until 2006 UK Championship when he got to the final.
I didn’t think he would do much more after that, but he beat Allen, Day and Ding in the 2008 World Championship until he lost heavily in the semis to Ronnie. So agree after that, he was done.
Still think UK Champs 2006 was his last good tournament even if he had the odd decent tournament after that.
Thought Holt would be one of the favourites, he’s been really disappointing so far…
Holt 3-0 down. Lilley wants to defend the title.
I’m not sure if Holt has declined massively in the last couple of years, but he’s been absolutely terrible today.
Lilley is playing decent, might be hard to stop
Jimmy looking good so far.
Wow total clearance of 138 by Jimmy and he leads 2-0
Yea fabulous, 138 break 2-0 👏👏
