Peter Wright is making sure that he will be in the semi
finals with a 7-5 win over Robert Thornton last night. Wright was much more dominant
in the trebles hitting twice as many 100 plus shots than Thornton. I think that
there is very little chance of Thornton reaching the semi finals as he does not
seem mentally there yet. You can always see something mad on Wright’s hair and
he should focus more on the darts and he may be a top player
Phil Taylor and Gary
Anderson drew last night which does little for either’s play off hopes. Taylor
did have the chance to gain the advantage and lead 4-1 but was un Taylor like
as he did not punish his opponent the way he normally does. Gary Anderson was
able to get a point back as he regained his form. Taylor was 10 points higher
in the averages but averages do not seem to win matches as his finishing was
quite week and like in the early part of the season he has to take a look at
that as it might be the difference between 4th and 5th
Van
Barneveld in my opinion is 1 point away from being certain of a semi final spot
after beating Adrian Lewis 7-3. He has got the form and quality and you can see
in his trebles and doubles and looks like a favourite for the title
Michael Van Gerwin secured a place in the semi finals with a
7-4 win over Dave Chisnal and looked very good with a 109 average. In my
opinion he is playing the best darts at the moment
In the bonus match Robert Thornton did Phil Taylor a big
favour as he drew 6-6 with Gary Anderson. There was never a big gap between the
two players. Anyone could have won this match with a big three darts against
the throw. There were times here when Anderson could not hit a double to save
his hopes but there was never a big chance for Anderson to take control of this
match and his position assuring fourth as with this result he dropped into
fifth position which would not be a play off position
