Ah so you don’t mean prior winners.

Ronnie in 2001, just a pure guess that is.

Iranu is correct with Ronnie in 2018. (Beat Mark Allen, Tom Ford, Martin O'Donnell, Lisowski, Yuelong, Doherty and Luke Simmonds).

The other correct answer was Doug Mountjoy in 1978, who beat David Taylor, Graham Miles, Roy Andrewartha and Dennis Taylor.

Over to Iranu - I asked for only one name and year, and Ronnie in 2018 is correct!

Alex guessed Ronnie before I did so over to him

Sorry, Alex - your turn!

Yeah, thats what I was going for!

Alex seems to have nipped off for a bit, so I'll drop in again:

List the top 10 most prestigious players who have faced ronnie in the WSC but never once managed to beat him.

Judd Trump, Neil Robertson, Mark Williams, Kyren Wilson, Matthew Stevens, Shaun Murphy, Stephen Maguire, Anthony Hamilton, Joe Perry, David Gilbert

An interesting selection. While I have a lot of lee-way in mind here, I think I'll wait and see if someone else is more in tune with what I have written down first. I'd give you 7 or 8 out of ten there personally.

Trump
Taylor
Williams
Robertson
White
Maguire
Murphy
Stevens
Lee
Harold

That's much more in line with what I have written down here. Though I'm still a bit dubious about maybe 1 of them. I'd rate that lot a good 8.5 or 9/10.

Judd Trump, Dennis Taylor, Neil Robertson, Mark Williams, Jimmy White, Stephen Maguire, Shaun Murphy, Stephen Lee, Matthew Stevens, Kyren Wilson

Yup, that's a definite no complaints there Judder.

I had:

Mark Williams (FIVE times)
trump
white
Robertson (twice)
taylor
Murphy (THREE times)
Stevens (twice)
Wilson
Maguire (THREE times)
Swail (twice)

With leeway around Swail, Maguire and Wilson for either of Perry or Lee.

Judd takes it.

Who did Ronnie Sullivan beat in the 1st round of the Masters the first year he won it?

Last guess for me: John Parrott?

Alan McNus
