Ken Doherty (born 17 September 1969) is an Irish professional snooker player and radio presenter. He is the one of only two players to have been world amateur (1989) and world professional champion (1997). He was also World Under-21 champion in 1989. As a prolific break-builder, Doherty has compiled more than 300 century breaks in professional competition.
Career
After two semi-finals in the 1991/92 season (his second as a professional), Doherty reached the final of the 1992 Grand Prix, narrowly losing 10–9 to Jimmy White. In the same event a year later, he lost 6–9 to Peter Ebdon. His first ranking title was the 1993 Welsh Open, enough to take him into the top 16 in the world, where he remained until the 2007/08 season. In the 1994 World Championship he reached the quarter-finals, his only run past the first round before 1997.
Doherty became only the third player from outside the United Kingdom (after Australian Horace Lindrum in 1952 and Canadian Cliff Thorburn in 1980) to win the World Championship when he beat Stephen Hendry 18–12 in the 1997 final. Ken also reached the World Championship final in 1998 (losing to John Higgins) and in 2003, losing narrowly to Mark Williams. The latter run was noted for some outstanding comebacks, including final-frame wins over Graeme Dott and Shaun Murphy, a 13–8 win over John Higgins in a match where Doherty raced ahead 10–0 but Higgins fought back to 10–7, and a semi-final fightback from 9–15 to beat Paul Hunter 17–16. In that championship he played more frames than anyone before or since. In the final, Williams led 11–4 but Doherty fought back to 12–12 and 16–16. In frame 33, Doherty missed the 2nd to final red with a clearance there for the taking. Williams won that crucial frame and the next to prevail 18–16.
John Kenneth Doherty (May 16, 1905 – April 19, 1996) was an American decathlon champion, college track and field coach, author and longtime director of the Penn Relays. While a student at the University of Michigan, Doherty won the American decathlon championship in 1928 and 1929 and won the bronze medal in the event at the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam. He later served as a track coach at Princeton University (1929–1930), the University of Michigan (1930–1948), and the University of Pennsylvania (1948–1957). He was also the meet director for the Penn Relays from 1956 to 1969 and of the first dual track meet between the United States and the Soviet Union in 1959. He was also a published author of works on track coaching, and his Track & Field Omnibook was regarded as "the track coach's bible" from the 1970s through the 1990s. Doherty has been inducted into at least six athletic halls of fame, including the National Track and Field Hall of Fame and athletic halls of fame at the University of Pennsylvania, University of Michigan, and Wayne State University.
"I'm really looking forward to playing John again. Let's hope its another classic."
"That threw me a lifeline and gave me a lot of hope. I kept fighting and hanging in there."
"Those were two cracking shots but I should've won the frame earlier. I'm really disappointed. That was an opportunity lost."
"I am disappointed because the chance to win a tournament was right here."
"It was a workmanlike performance but I'm very pleased."
"Marco played very well against Stephen Maguire and anyone who's in the quarter-finals has a chance of winning the tournament."
"People were probably writing me off after I missed the black, but it didn't weigh me down and I felt good once I got the first frame on the board. I settled into my stride, got a bit of confidence and started to feel like I would make a high break or clear up every time I got in."
