O'Sullivan races clear

Stephen Hendry suffered his first ever session whitewash at the 888.com World Championships as Ronnie O’Sullivan won all eight frames to open up a 12-4 lead in their semi-final clash at the Crucible Theatre.

Seven times world champion Hendry has inflicted similar punishment during his distinguished career at snooker’s premier tournament to Terry Griffiths (1992), Jimmy White (1992) and Danny Fowler (1993).
