The game's greatest-ever player arrives in Sheffield seeking an eighth world title - and it's by no means out of the question.

Having won the British Open and finished runner-up at the UK Championship this season, Hendry remains a big threat at the major events.

With a super all-round game, he looks to have a pretty kind draw to the last four too.

Doesn't have the aura of invincibility surrounding him any more though, as he did in the 1990s.

Still, with his array of shots, Hendry is capable of beating anyone.

A serious danger to others in the draw.
