Correct! Griffiths was next, so you get the bonus point and an extra +1

I want to say Steve Davis.
Hallett went 7-0 up against Hendry in the 1991 (IIRC) Masters, only to lose the match.
Davis went 8-0 up in the 85 World final, only for DT to make the comeback.
But I feel like it should perhaps be a player that staged a comeback against DT?

Nice thinking Prop, but you’re barking up the wrong tree I’m afraid.

Care to hazard a guess as to the reason?

You have a ready made excuse, in not being born yet (at that point, I should add)

Gary Wilson reached his 2nd ranking final last month at the British Open. Who defeated him in the final of his 1st ranking final?

Was it the Welsh Potting Machine, Mr. Williams?
Beat him in both, by co-incidence?

Nope but you’re right that it involves current snooker/recent history
