Jet-lagged Hendry completes 147 maximum break

Stephen Hendry shrugged off the effects of a 10,000-mile round trip to China as he fired in a thrilling 147 maximum break on day one of the Betfred.com World Championship today.

The 43-year-old Scot, seven times a world champion, only arrived back in the country yesterday after his long-haul business trip, which began on Monday, a day after he won a qualifying match to reach the Crucible.
