🎱 Snooker legend Stephen Hendry has some bold advice for today’s players: to reach the pinnacle of success, you might need to be a little ‘greedy and horrible’. As a seven-time world champion, Hendry knows a thing or two about dominating the sport, and he’s keen to see a new snooker star rise to the top.
In the ’80s, Steve Davis was unbeatable, while Hendry owned the ’90s with his incredible run. Nowadays, the competition is wide open, and no one has consistently taken the lead. With snooker being anyone’s game right now, Hendry suggests that maybe it’s time for someone to step up and become the next legendary force.
Looking at the current season, even world number one Judd Trump hasn’t won a tournament since last year’s UK Championship. As Trump gears up to defend his title against Stephen Maguire in York, all eyes are also on world champion Zhao Xintong, who recently clinched a victory in Saudi Arabia and could be the one to dominate moving forward.
Hendry’s insight into the sport he once ruled is simple: to be a great, you need dedication, a winning mindset, and the willingness to make sacrifices. As the UK Championship heats up, we’re left wondering who will take snooker by storm. Could it be the unstoppable Zhao Xintong, or will we see a surprise contender rise through the ranks? Let the games begin! 🏆
