Jimmy White will not be celebrating the 10th anniversary of his last major title success with another piece of long-overdue silverware. The six-times world finalist failed to produce a second-session revival against the Glaswegian Drew Henry in the UK Championship at York last night.
The 40-year-old resumed 6-2 down and though he captured the first two frames of the afternoon Henry went on to book his place in the last 16 with a 9-4 win. "I came here full of enthusiasm but lacking in confidence," said White, whose last ranking tournament win was the 1992 UK Championship at Preston.
"I struggled from start to finish. In fact, it just carried on from my last tournament where I was 4-1 up but lost 5-4 to Alan McManus. I'm lacking confidence, though I'm playing well in practice."
