Hendry dares to dream of World title number eight

Stephen Hendry insisted he was not too old to be the Crucible’s best man again on a day when love was in the air at the Betfred.com World Championship.

Hendry completed a 13-4 drubbing of out-of-sorts defending champion John Higgins to reach the quarter-finals and reaffirm his affection for the venue where he has won a record seven titles.
