Stephen Hendry to continue playing despite World Championship snooker defeat – 'Crucible return still a distant dream'
Stephen Hendry suffered a 10-4 defeat to James Cahill in the first round of World Championship qualifying at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield. The seven-time Crucible winner opened with a sparkling break of 102, his 777th century in the sport, but toiled for large swathes of the contest as world No. 99 Cahill claimed the next six frames with breaks of 77, 50, 54 and 57.
