Hendry suffers first round knockout

The 42-year-old, who had to earn his place in the competition through the qualifiers after falling out of the world's top 16, was soundly beaten by the world number nine.

The match was finely poised at 3-3, but Maguire won the seventh frame with a 134 clearance and closed the game out.

He now faces defending champion John Higgins in the last 16 in York.

Hendry, who went down the qualification route for the first time in 23 years, showed plenty of battling qualities to stay level after six frames before Maguire's impressive showing in the seventh.

And, in the next, Maguire's 90 clearance put him one frame away from a place in the next round.

Maguire appeared to be cruising into the next round when he went 52-0 ahead, before he missed a simple red with the rest.

However, Hendry could not make the most of his chance and Maguire eventually closed out the frame to progress.
