This would be my ideal World Championship run, for Ronnie:
R1: Ronnie beats James Cahill
R2: Ronnie beats Elliot Slessor
QF: Ronnie beats Ali Carter
SF: Ronnie beats Judd Trump
F: Ronnie beats Mark Selby
What would be your perfect World Championship run, and for which player?
R1: beats
R2: beats
QF: beats
SF: beats
F: beats

Definately Selby in the Final because he was the one responsible for Ronnie's only ever Final defeat.
As for the rest... don't really have a preference, but maybe Higgins and Trump along the way would be a good choice.

Imagine someone winning the World Championship with wins over both Trump AND O'Sullivan. And then on top of that you have wins over two other former champions one of which is Masters champion. I can't think of what type of Snooker machine could do that.

R1. Judd beats Murphy 10-0
R2 Judd beats Wilson 13-4
QF Judd beats Robertson 13-12 after Robertson goes in off during match ball while he's celebrating Mark Allen style then Judd clears up to force a black ball decider. Robertson pots the final black but as he celebrates he puts his cue down not knowing the white ball that's travelling hits his cue and loses.
SF Judd beats Ronnie 17-15
F Judd beats Selby 18-1, Judd is leading 17-0 but decides to give a pity frame

That's an odd way for you to want your hero to win.

I remember that embarrassing celebration Neil Robertson did in the world championship 2017 last 16 against Marco Fu. He won a black ball frame to go 11-10 up I think. He then went on to lose the match. I found it hilarious.

Knowing Judd it'd be more like he was leading 17-0, then suddenly it was 17-14.

yeah remember that one. After the Robertson said he wanted to show more emotions again after years of not doing it. But he hasnt really bar that Scottish Open final against Cao where he won the second frame on the black to make it 1:1.
But the Robertson fist pumps are always hilarious.

I remember that.
In fairness I suppose that frame did prove quite crucial in the end.
