Hendry V Allen

The New Kid on the Block?

Mark Allen won't be able to get back into The Crucible again, after making such an impact in 2007.

Having beaten the 1997 champion, Doherty in the first round will provide the confidence he needs to take on Hendry.

Stephen has looked ordinary, if a little disinterested at times, all season. The Crucible could ignite something in the Scot but if it doesn't this could be more one-sided than most would think.
