At the Crucible, what has Steve Davis achieved 5 times, Dennis Taylor, Stephen Hendry, Peter Ebdon and Joe Perry achieved twice, and 21 other players achieved once? Ronnie O'Sullivan has never done it.
Is it knocking out the defending champion?

Well, I'm concentrating on this afternoon's play, so will post a relatively straightforward question to keep the quiz flowing :
Who won the first ranking event of the 21st Century?

It depends whether you think the 21st Century began on 1 Jan 2000, or 1 Jan 2001

Don't really care either way. Don't even 'celebrate' New Years myself.
I will accept either, or both

John Higgins won the 2000 Welsh Open so I will accept that as a ‘correct’ answer.
Ken Doherty won it a year later.

NOT John Spencer, due to a tea break for the camera crew
