Stephen Hendry dumped out of British Open snooker as Zhang Anda reaches last 64
Stephen Hendry lost 4-1 to world No. 70 Zhang Anda in the qualifying round for the British Open at the Robin Park Leisure Centre in Wigan.
The seven-time world champion responded to a break of 59 in the second frame by rolling in a 54 in the third frame to trail 2-1, but lost the final two frames without registering a point as the man dubbed ‘Mighty Mouse’ finished with knocks of 78 and 75 to reach the last 64.
Qualifying taking place in Wigan between August 9-14, but Hendry – who edged out Zhang 10-9 in the first round of the 2010 World Championship – will take no further part in a tournament he won four times between 1988 and 2003.
