Stephen Hendry says he is playing well enough to lift the Embassy World Championship trophy for an eighth time.

The 33-year-old gained revenge for his defeat in the 1997 final by edging a final-frame thriller with Ken Doherty.

The world number five registered breaks of 141, 132 and 134 before clinching a 13-12 quarter-final win with a well-constructed 91.

Hendry is up against Ronnie O'Sullivan in the semi-finals after the champion's 13-10 success over Stephen Lee.
