In this print captured by Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the thrilling atmosphere of the 1988 Embassy World Snooker Championship. The second round match between two snooker legends, Jimmy White and Stephen Hendry, had reached its climax at the iconic Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. The intensity of their rivalry is palpable as they stand side by side in this snapshot frozen in time. Stephen Hendry, on the right, exudes a focused determination while Jimmy White radiates both concentration and anticipation. Their eyes locked on the table ahead, one can almost feel the electric energy pulsating through their bodies. This image encapsulates not only a pivotal moment within that championship but also symbolizes an era when these two players were at the pinnacle of their careers. It was a battle between experience and youth; White's flair against Hendry's precision. As spectators held their breaths during each shot played with meticulous skill and strategic finesse, no one could predict who would emerge victorious from this nail-biting encounter. Ultimately it was Jimmy White who triumphed over his formidable opponent with a narrow margin of 13-12. Colorsport photographer Stewart Fraser expertly captures this significant event with impeccable timing and composition.
