im as convinced as i can be without The emergence of Ronnie,Higgins and Williams in the 90s Hendry might have retired by now.
it has to evolve at the moment its slightly stuck. a few years back i thought Higgins was on his way out and only a matter of time before Ronnie follows since then John won 2 World Championships and good on him however instead of moving on Selby and Ding slipped back which has been disappointing.....now we need them to step it up at the crucible.
im a hendry fan and if he plays Selby at the crucible i cant lose i really cant if Hendry gets through yeyy another Q/F if Selby goes through yey bring on Ronnie and Higgins.
yeah but my point is you need a mix of the old and the new, the Davis and the Reardon, and Higgins & Ronnie are the old. I think there has been evolution, a few years back you could pretty much guarantee that the top four would be a combo of Higgins, Hendry, Williams and Ronnie, and the next five would be Doherty, Ebdon, Hunter, Stevens, Lee, in some order. Only two of those nine are still at the same level, and now we have guys at the top like Selby and Murphy who were nowhere until pretty recently.
