Hendry hoping to raise his game against Robertson

The seven-time world champion accepts he has dropped below the standards he set in the Nineties but hopes the Wembley venue can inspire him against his Australian opponent.

Hendry said: "The way I have played in the last few years, the top players will look on me as quite a good draw. I have not set the world alight in any major event.

"I just need I feel a bit of inspiration, or something to happen, to get me kick-started.

"It could happen at Wembley. It's a tournament where I have enjoyed a lot of success and I've got a lot of good memories of the Masters.

"I'm playing the world champion at a great venue in a massive tournament and that should really inspire me to play my best snooker.

"The game I was playing in the nineties was good enough to win tournaments now. There is no doubt about that."
