Stephen Hendry explains 'relief' when Ronnie O'Sullivan matched world title record

Seven-time world snooker champion Stephen Hendry has spoken of his relief when Ronnie O'Sullivan matched his record last year, but admitted he didn't want the Rocket to draw level with his accomplishment.

Scottish player Hendry was unstoppable during the 1990s winning seven titles and spent eight consecutive seasons as world No.1.

Hendry has seen some of his records beaten by O'Sullivan but until last season held the record for most world championship wins. However, after holding the record for 23 years, the Golden Boy had a sense of relief when O'Sullivan beat Judd Trump to match his record at last year's world snooker championships.
