Score!
And in all those Ranking Event finals, he faced a total of 21 different players. Who were the 2 players he faced, but didn't beat, in Ranking Event finals?

It's kinda mad that he lost that many. Ronnie's strike rate in finals much higher

No. He famously lost to Doug in the 88 UK, but got his revenge by pasting him 9-2 in the final of Dubai Open the following year.
He never faced Alex Higgins in the final of a Ranker, but did lose to him in the 1989 B&H Irish Masters, Alex’s last title win, but that was an invitational...

Matthew Stevens and Ding Junhu?
Pretty sure Hendry only met them once in ranking finals.

Good answer
(as it is the correct one) :
He lost 8-10 to Matthew in the 2003 UK
and 5-9 to Ding in the 2005 China Open; both were the only time he met each opponent in a Ranking final.
Well done JN88!

2003 UK championship final hurts :( Then the 2005 china open final I woke up around 7am to watch the final, Hendry was 3-1 up then it all went wrong and young 18 year old Ding stunned him.

I agree with that, I am a little too passionate about my favourite players and favourite team results.
Right thinking of a question!

Or “he’s starting to annoy me” after losing 17-18 at the 94 wc.
