A brilliant clearance in the decisive eighth frame sends Marco Fu with 5-4 victory over World No 1 Stephen Hendry to reach the last 16 of ongoing 2007 World Snooker China Open. Sober and light-hearted, the Hong Kong gentleman, even hungry of victory, contributes his success into pre-game self-psychological hint.

"I told myself to keep calm, even in the last frame, for overmuch losing previously reminds me of being self-possessed while of course, I am biding the time for win without any pressure,' Fu said of his performance at the after-match press conference.

Fu added: "Six Chinese players won their matches yesterday, I'm very happy to see the young talent coming through."

Fu still shows high respect towards the Hendry, "In my mind, he remains great player, for perhaps you audiences has much higher requirement for him."
