Hendry: Davis must improve

Steve Davis believes he has been playing some of the best snooker of his glittering career at the Travis Perkins UK Championship in York this week – but it may not be good enough to clinch the title.

That is the view of Stephen Hendry, whom Davis beat 9-6 to secure his 100th career final appearance tomorrow against either Joe Perry or Chinese teenage sensation Ding Junhui.
