Nineteen players beat Steve Davis at the Crucible; of those, five beat him there twice - but who was the first player to register two victories against him at the Crucible?

Re: Never Ending Quiz

Postby SnookerEd25

No, Steve never lost to Ray at the Crucible at all. They met twice there, and Davis won both pretty comfortably: 1985 SF (16-5) & 1987 R2 (13-4)

Well played. Thought this might throw people but the famous 85 final was actually Dennis’s second triumph; he’d knocked Davis out in 1979 when Steve debuted at the Crucible, 13-11 in R1.

They met times at the Crucible five times in total, with Davis winning the other three : 1983 (13-11 R2), 1984 (16-9 SF), and 1991 (13-7 QF).

Good quizzing there, Judders <ok>
