1993 World Championship - The Crucible Theatre, Sheffield
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Worl ... ampionshipGoing into the Chmpionship, Jimmy White and Stephen Hendry were the favourites. There was a clear 'top 6' though at the time, including Steve Davis, John Parrott, Alan McManus and James Wattana. It wouldn't have been a surprise if any of those players won it.
The two favourites made it to the final in what must have been anticipated as being a classic. Hendry ran away with it however, winning with a session to spare.
With the qualifying rounds being played in the previous summer, there were quite a few surprise match-ups for the seeds in the first round. Spencer Dunn and John Giles in particular were two who had done little of note other than qualify for this. It was perhaps not a surprise that only one seed lost in the first round (Robidoux).
