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?

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
