Hendry considering quitting

STEPHEN HENDRY was not quite ready for his carriage clock and farewells yesterday but Scotland’s seven-time world snooker champion has retirement on his mind.

After a heavy defeat to Mark Selby in the arena where he jokes he stores a spare pipe and slippers, Hendry left the Crucible to consider what his future holds.

When he gets home to Auchterarder, there will be family discussions over whether he plays on.
