World Snooker: Stephen Hendry to continue playing

Seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry has ended speculation about his future by confirming to the BBC he intends to play on next season.

The 42-year-old Scotsman had hinted at retirement after losing 13-4 in the second round to Mark Selby.

But speaking at the Crucible where he is commentating on the semi-finals he said: "I still love playing the game. I want the chance to come back here.

"I'm going to play all the tournaments. There's no point being half-hearted."

I'm not a big snooker TBH but surely it's not good for the sport if John Higgins win this after what he did??

Yes he was banned but not for long enough IMO and I liked him before that but now when I watch him play in the back of my mind I wonder if he's cheating

by **cidermaster** » Tue May 03, 2011 10:47 am
