Hendry on target for seventh heaven

Stephen Hendry remained on course to rewrite the history books tonight as he scrapped his way into the semi-finals of the SAGA Insurance Masters.

The record six-time winner deservedly downed former world champion Shaun Murphy 6-3 in their quarter-final showdown at the Wembley Arena, pocketing breaks of 72, 49, 47, 39 and 38 in the process.
