Stephen Hendry faces an anxious wait to see if his world championship-winning cue can be repaired.
The 34-year-old was returning from a tournament in Thailand and his cue was damaged in transit.
Hendry said: "As soon as we touched down in London they contacted me and said my cue had been damaged.
"They don't do that when it's just a scratch - so right away I feared the worst.
"When I eventually got my cue in Glasgow, the case was held together with tape - and the cue looked like a shepherd's crook.
"The butt-end is broken in two. I just don't know if it can be repaired but it's in the right hands now.
"I've had the cue since I was 14. It cost 40 quid then, but I couldn't put a price on it now."
