Rebecca Kenna has responded to the criticism from snooker legend Stephen Hendry after their defeat in the World Mixed Doubles final. The 35-year-old admitted that she lacks self-confidence when it comes to taking on shots, explaining her decision not to go for the black in a crucial moment during the semi-final.

Hendry had been vocal about Kenna’s shot choices during the tournament, expressing his disappointment in her cautious approach. In a viral video, he emphasized the need for her to be more aggressive in her shot selection if they were to have a chance at winning the final.

In response to Hendry’s comments, Kenna took to Twitter to address her lack of confidence and her willingness to learn and improve. Despite the criticism, she remained respectful of Hendry, acknowledging him as her childhood hero and someone whose opinions she values.

Kenna, who has previously been ranked as high as third in the women’s world rankings, will now look to use this experience as motivation to continue her rise in the game. She is set to face Alfie Burden in the first round of qualifying for the upcoming World Championships, where she will aim to showcase her growth and development as a player.

As Kenna navigates the challenges of professional snooker, her response to criticism and her determination to improve will be key factors in her success on the big stage. With the support of fans and fellow players, she is poised to make strides in her career and prove her capabilities in the sport.
