ROUND FIFTY TWO?

[The Statman]

ROUND FIFTY-TWO

What is the highest second-highest break of a player in a Crucible match?

That is to say, if Mike Hallett hade made 137 and 136 in the same match, the 136 would count, whereas if Ronnie O'Sullivan had made 147 and 133, the 133 would count, and Hallett's would be a higher answer than O'Sullivan.

(If a player made the same break twice in one match it would of course count as the highest and also the second highest.)

[davis_greatest]

No idea. I'll open with a guess. 135?

[Alex0paul]

Is it 127??????

[JoanneT63]

I'll try 128?

[Alex0paul]

Is it 119???

[The Statman]

No correct guesses. It is in the 130s.

For an answer to be correct I want the figure AND the player.

Hi,

Very sorry to have disaapeered, a fire nearby knocked internet out for 2 days nearly.

Anyway I'm off to work now and will return about midnight.

In answer to the statman, Yes there are occasions where the opponent could have played a shot but chose not to yes.

Like i said sorry to have made such a pig's ear of it all. Say if you just want the answer and I'll post it when I finish work.

Mcmanus 139?

[Alex0paul]

O'Sullivan 133 v Swail in 2001?

[The Statman]

Just to let you know that I have identified 13 instances of a player making two breaks of at least 130 in the same match! One is higherthan all the others – there is no tie for first place.
