Never Ending Quiz

There maybe more than one but I know of only one so which players faced each other in the first round of The World Championships at The Crucible in successive years?

No.

Tony Drago and Matthew Stevens?

It wasn't the one I thought of but it is correct. And they also played in the last 16 the year before. Good answer.

They played in 81 and 82, and in 82 it was the 2nd round. So not correct.

I had another one in mind, but maybe there are more anyway.

Steve Davis & Peter Ebdon - 1992 & 93

Willie Thorne & Stephen Hendry 1986 & 87

Raphael already won the quiz with Drago and Stevens. There were a few more than I thought.

Yes you're right about Davis/Edbon and Hendry/Thorne. I have also remembered O'Sullivan/Maguire in 04/05.

The one I had thought of originally was Foulds/Wayne Jones in 88/89 but now I realise there were many answers!

Anyway Raphael won this round.

Ken Doherty and Mark Davis
