Stephen Hendry's possibility of coming out of retirement?

Image
Stephen Hendry has teased his snooker fans after thinking of coming out of his retirement and make snooker great again. He's been working with Steve Feeney and apparently has started to enjoy playing snooker again. Stephen Hendry was the greatest of all time of his era and has won 7 world titles. He retired in 2012 after defeat in the QF of the world snooker championship and hasn't tempted to return until now. He's only been playing in the Seniors tour in recent years. Hendry has been working with Steve Feeney, the man behind SightRight, which has also helped Ronnie O'Sullivan in the past. Hendry dominated snooker during the 1990's and regular defeats and early exits became too much to handle for him. He is making no promise of returning back but this time he sounds more interested in playing more tournaments than he has. Hendry on Instagram live with Ronnie O'Sullivan "I've been doing a wee bit with Feeney and I've started to get

Ronnie O'Sullivan - Only snooker player to give up 147 maximum break because of low prize money

Ronnie O'Sullivan is undeniably the greatest player of our generation and we're glad to witness all the greats that he has done for himself and the sport. There's no better player which comes to our mind when we think of snooker. A 147 maximum break is highest possible achievement in a frame of snooker. A player compiles a 147 break by potting 15 reds and 15 blacks which accounts to 120 points followed by all the colors for 27 points. The 1st maximum break was compiled by Steve davis at a Classic in January 1982. We've been playing snooker all our life and we know how difficult it is. But, It's a piece of cake for Ronnie O'Sullivan (The Rocket). Ronnie has compiled 15 maximum breaks in his snooker career and also holds the record of the fastest maximum which was for 5 minutes and 8 seconds. There have been instances where O'Sullivan won our hearts by making a 146 break instead of 147 and for what? BECAUSE THE PRIZE MONEY WAS TOO LOW FOR AN ACHIE

I wanted to banana it in - Ronnie O'Sullivan

This is a very interesting incident that happened in the 2019 Scottish Open when Ronnie O'Sullivan played Dominic Dale in the opening round. O'Sullivan was 0-2 down against Dale but managed to cross the finishing line first. Ronnie deliberately missed a century break. He didn't wait for the referee to place the color back on it's spot and played the shot which resulted in a foul. But the most strange incident happened when he potted the pink and got a perfect position on the black and all he had to do was slowly push the black in. Instead he tried to banana the black in the middle pocket. He hit the cue ball so hard that it bounced off the table and awarded the frame to Dale.

Ronnie O'Sullivan is thinking of ' playing in every event possible' in the coming two years. He looks to win more silverware before his snooker career comes to a close. O'Sullivan has been playing in limited events mainly UK based. This season he played in just 7 snooker events where he won the Shanghai Masters. His lack of activity in the snooker events led to the failure in qualifying in the Players Championship and the Tour Championship.

Read this article to find out the tentative dates as to when this prestigious event can happen. With the outbreak of the virus, we've all been deprived of our favourite things to do and snooker being one of them.

Judd trump won the world snooker championship for the first time in his career by beating John Higgins 18-9. Higgins was unable to keep pace with Trump's brilliant display of snooker.
