Stephen Hendry has given his verdict on the chances of old rival Ronnie O'Sullivan winning a record-extending ninth UK Championship title in York
Stephen Hendry says it would be plain "stupid" to dismiss Ronnie O'Sullivan's chances at the UK Championship.
"On his day, when he plays his best, he's still the best player in the world," Hendry told the Mirror ahead of the tournament, where he will be providing expert analysis for the BBC. "There's so many great players out there. If Ronnie plays his best, he probably still is the best player, but he doesn't do it that often."
