BBC pundit Stephen Hendry snaps at Steve Davis live on TV after Ronnie O'Sullivan's World Snooker Championship win | D0REE0T | 2024-04-30 02:08:01
SNOOKER legends Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis clashed today as they analysed Ronnie O'Sullivan's performance.
It came after 'The Rocket' saw off Ryan Day with a 13-7 victory at the Crucible.
The victory sees O'Sullivan advance to the quarter-finals as he looks for a record-breaking eighth world title.
Hendry and Davis were asked to score Ronnie's performance out of ten, which led to a disagreement between the two.
Hendry said: "I'll mark him against what he's capable of – fiveish, 5.5."
That led Davis to interject and say: "I'd go 10 because it doesn't matter – it's just about the win."
Hinting at some tension between the two, Hendry then said: "That wasn't what the question was, you've ducked another question."
That led to Davis saying: "No, no I've taken it in a different light."
When asked about why he scored Ronnie with a 5.5, Hendry explained: "What I will say is that in the two frames against Ryan, you couldn't play better snooker than that.
"That was what he was capable of, but then he went below it. So I'm giving him 5.5, 6."

Davis held firm in his rating, however, saying: "I'm going 10 because all he has to do is win.
"What else do you need? He's still in the tournament, that's a 10."
