Snooker titans in epic rematch

Stephen Hendry’s semi-final against Ronnie O’Sullivan at the 1999 Embassy World Championship is often considered to be the greatest match ever played. This year’s rematch might be even better.

Just as they did three years ago, the two snooker giants traded blow for blow, century for century at the Crucible. Fittingly, it finished all square at 12-12 last night with fireworks a certainty in tomorrow’s final session.
