New World Grand Prix champion Mark Allen hit back at Stephen Hendry after joining the game’s elite.
The Pistol fired himself to a career highest ranking of world No 3 as he became only the 10th player in history to win three ranking titles in the same season with a gripping 10-9 win over Judd Trump on Sunday night.
It was a memorable ninth ranking success, which put him level with former world champions John Parrott, Peter Ebdon and close pal Shaun Murphy.
