Question

Did Jimmy White ever beat Stephen Hendry at the World Championships?

Answer 1

White certainly never beat Hendry in a World Championship Final – losing to the Scot on all four of the occasions that the pair played each other. However, in 1997/98, White beat Hendry in the tournament’s opening round. Sadly, the Englishman failed to reach the final that year.
