Pot Black Cup Final
Shaun Murphy 36(24)-71(29) Ken Doherty

Nice try ... but that isn't a ranking event.

Pot Black Cup Final
Shaun Murphy 36(24)-71(29) Ken Doherty

Just saw it was a ranking event. The only one I can see is Joe Perry v Jimmy Michie but the high break was 41.

ROUND TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOUR

Who was the last player to win a match in a ranking event – at the venue and not at the qualifiers – despite failing to make a half-century?

And for a bonus mark, the last player to do the same without making a break above 40?

[Mal]

Their won their first match at the crucible when they were already a member of the top 16 and qualified automatically.

I.e. they never qualified when outside the top 16 prior to this

[The Statman]

ROUND TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY-THREE

Looking at the Crucible, what can be said only of Martin Clark and Mark J. Williams?

[Alex0paul]

Mal you are correct. Graeme Dott as world champion was seeded first instead as the tournament became a ranking event.
