Most Difficult And Easiest Draw At The Crucible ?
Hi guys
Seeing as we're ticking down to the big one what Crucible champion do you think has had the most difficult draw in the history of the WC there ? Conversely who has had the " easiest " passage ?
Hardest ?

Plays a finalist in his first ever match , followed by the hurricane , followed by steady Eddie , though Griffiths did play one less match than is played nowadays in order to win
One that really sticks out is 1981 with Steve Davis winning his first title where he had to play every single day
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981_World ... ampionship
World amatuer champ in the first round , the hurricane in round two , Griffiths in the qf followed by the grinder in the semi
Graeme Dott wouldn't be blamed if he decided to phone in sick during the WC fortnight in 2006
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_World ... ampionship
with the exception of Neil Robertson everyone he plyed had been a former winner or finalist
Easiest draw ?
For me there's only one contender
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_World ... ampionship
Robertson beats two qualifiers in the first two rounds , an OAP in the QF , a pilot in the semi and grinded out a win in the final against Dotty
Please no " It was harder /easier to win a title in 19$$ /20££back then " type arguments please
