Hendry's dominant position in snooker appeared to be on the wane, as the only ranking event he won in the 1997/98 season was the Thailand Masters. He also lost his World no. 1 place for the first time since 1990 and was eliminated in the first round of the World Championship, losing heavily to White (4-10). 1998/99 began with an embarrassing 0–9 first-round loss in the UK Championship to unseeded Marcus Campbell

 in 2002/03 and British Open in 2003/04 came his way, with his victory in the Malta Cup of 2005 being his most recent ranking success. However, Hendry regained the world no. 1 position in 2005/06 due to consistency in reaching the latter stages of tournaments without, by his own admission, reproducing his form of old. He is now ranked World number six. Following a disappointing season in 2007/2008 Hendry unexpectedly reached his 12th semi-final at the World Championships, a new record surpassing Steve Davis' 11. In doing so aged 39 he became the oldest player to reach the semi-finals of the tournament since Terry Griffiths in 1992.

Records

Hendry has won 65 professional titles (36 of these were ranking tournaments), three Scottish Professional crowns, four team titles and 7 amateur titles, making a total of 79. This puts him second on the all-time list of professional championships won behind Steve Davis with 73. However, Hendry is the record holder for the number of ranking titles won.

Hendry currently holds the record for the longest unbroken streak as a top-16 player (21 seasons). This feat is all the more noteworthy since the lowest he has been ranked in the top 16 is eighth. His other career records include: consecutive wins of a single tournament, longest consecutive winning streak (in ranking events), most centuries compiled in one match (7), most centuries compiled in one tournament (16), most centuries in one season (52), most years ranked world no.1, most career centuries

 (over 700) and highest total prize money. Until 2007 he held the record for most 147s compiled in competitive play (8), as well as most televised maximums (7), until O'Sullivan took sole ownership of both records during the 2008 world championships.

Playing style

Hendry tends to play at a steady pace. He often uses the now universal tactic of potting the blue with pace and heavy backspin on the white ball to cannon into the pack of reds and develop them for break-building. Aside from his break-building consistency, Hendry's ability at long potting was crucial to his success, as was his knack of potting balls in the middle pocket during a break. Throughout his career he has played very aggressively, more often than not attempting quite difficult pots and trying to break open the reds early in a break rather than waiting until all open reds have been potted. In this way he has compiled more than 700 competitive century breaks
