LONDON, April 28 (Reuters) – Seven-times world champion
Stephen Hendry rolled back the years to complete a surprise 13-4
win over holder John Higgins in the second round of the world
championship in Sheffield on Saturday.
The 43-year-old Scot, who won his last world title in 1999,
led 12-4 overnight and knocked in a break of 64 to wrap up
victory.
It was Hendry’s first ranking event win against the
four-time winner Higgins since 2003 and set up his first world
quarter-final since 2009.
He will now face compatriot Stephen Maguire who completed a
13-7 win over England’s Joe Perry on Saturday.
