The 1999 Embassy World Snooker Championship was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place between 17 April–3 May 1999 at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England.

John Higgins was the defending champion, but he lost in the semi-finals 10–17 against Mark Williams and became another World Champion, who fell to the Crucible curse and could not defend his first World title.

Stephen Hendry won his seventh World title by defeating Mark Williams in the final by 18 frames to 11.[1]

Tournament summary 编辑

  • Stephen Hendry won the world title for a seventh time, a record in the modern era, beating Ray Reardon and Steve Davis' six titles. Hendry won all his titles in the 1990s while Davis won his six in the 1980s and Reardon won his in the 1970s.[2]
  • During his first round match, Steve James compiled the 500th century break at the Crucible in frame seven.[3]
  • Ronnie O'Sullivan came close to a maximum break in his semi-final match with Hendry. He missed the last pink to the middle pocket and his break ended at 134.[4]
  • O'Sullivan and Hendry made the most century breaks in a single match at the World Championship with eight.[5]
  • Dominic Dale scored 167 points in one frame in his match against Nigel Bond. He earned 44 penalty points and then made a century break. This is the highest number of points ever scored by a player in one frame in any ranking event.[6]
