Pretty poor from Robertson upwards, as those players should have enough quality not to get knocked out that often. Pretty much sums up Maguire's career as well, an underachiever extraordinaire

I probably should have added in number of performances as well, as not everyone there has appeared on all 10 occasions. Will do this tomorrow at some point.

Whilst Ronnie and Judd have only lost once each, both of their defeats were unquestionably the two biggest first round shocks of the decade.

Yes, to complete the list you'd add that Davis and Hendry did not lose at all in the first round in the 2010's, although they retired early in the decade.

I was thinking that that would be a good metric as well. Like HustleKing says, pretty poor from Robbo upwards, especially Robbo, for the decade easily the best out of most of that group on average, obvious exceptions being ROS, Selby, Higgins and Judd. I will give him some extra encouragement when I see him on Monday :)

But Steve Davis lost 6 times BEFORE the first round so you cant really count that as not loosing in the first round same with Ebdon he lost 4 times in Qualifying so his tally is 10.

this topic is as if qualifying has never happened.

Wouldn’t be like Ash to post incomplete data.

Yep.

The qualifying is separate. This is just people who have made it to the last 32.

This is somewhat misleading. Take Mark Williams for example. I think he failed to qualify for Crucible in 2014 and 2017 so he’s worse than the likes of Bingham and Robertson who qualified every year but lost more first round matches. However it didn’t reflect on this table

Does this confirm that Ebdon is the worst player ever? Of that he's one of the best having come through qualifying a lot?

Using stats to prove a point is not Ash's forte. He can't use any memes.

The link you posted with Mario talking about spaghetti made more informative snooker related posts than this thread did.
