Who will take the title? Have your say

Stephen Hendry booked his place in the quarter-finals of the Embassy World Championship with a comprehensive victory over Anthony Davies.

Hendry began Sunday's evening session with a 6-2 lead over the unseeded Davies.

The seven time champion then dropped the first frame of play to his Welsh opponent before winning seven consecutive frames to wrap up the win.

Hendry will now face Ken Doherty in the quarter-finals.

The Scottish star said afterwards that he is now looking forward to a day off.

He said: "It's nice to have an extra day off to relax and get some practice in."

On his eagerly-awaited clash with Doherty, Hendry added: "Ken had a fright in his match so he might come out more relaxed in the next round, thinking that he might have gone out.

"I haven't been pushed yet but there's no way it's going to be a result like that in the quarter-finals. This is where the tough stuff really starts."
