Peter Wright headed to Blackpool after a disappointing season, having failed to reach the Premier League Dams or win a single tournament on the PDC circuit.
He became the fourth man in history to win 10 events in a calendar year in 2017. This was a dramatic change of situation for the world number two.
Relatively speaking, he "was flying under the radar" as the fourth favorite behind MVG, Gary Anderson and Rob Cross, but as the biggest names fell or were caught off guard, Snakebite moved effortlessly in his third semifinal of Blackpool in four years.
The 2017 finalist, who left the Winter Gardens Tears after losing to Phil Taylor 12 months ago, may end up crying with joy on Sunday night when he carries the form of his three last games at the end of the week.
He beat Jelle Klaasen 10-5 with a checkout of 170 before going over the 105 in 11-5 against Kim Huybrechts.
Another ton + average followed against Simon Whitlock but this time it's his deadly double that killed the Magician's hopes, hitting 16 and missing just five He also won his last 11 innings without missing a cash . If it was not awesome enough for you, he hit three 100 + checkouts, including a maximum of 140.
By contrast Suljovic was more professional in reaching his first World Matchplay semifinal, overcoming Steve Beaton 10-6, Ian White 11-8 and Darren Webster 16-10
He started very slowly against the demolition man and it seemed like he could walk the distance when he was leading only 9-8 but he found another equipment to take seven of the next nine stages. and finished the match with nine 180s and an impressive 57.14%.
Regardless of what the winner of the 2017 Darts League says to the cameras, he will think he can win a second major title after winning two more
The Austrian has also been a clumsy client for Wright these last time.
Their face-to-face record is 7-7 but Suljovic has won four of his last five games. Last season's Champions League matches, He was beaten in all three matches this year.
Not only that – two of them were respectively 7-1 and 8-2 in the Premier League and World Series of Darts while the third was as recent as the Danish Dents last month. Open, what Suljovic continued to win
I'm going to side Gentle at evens with a +2.5 start, but as a side-bet, I'm leaving for Wright to get four or more checkouts at 4 / ..
Snakebite has scored seven goals so far, including three in just 21 games against Whitlock, so if this game goes away, he will have plenty of opportunities for him to maintain that rate.
Prediction : Wright 17-15 Suljovic
Jeffrey of Zwaan ( 13/5 ) Gary Anderson ( 2/7 )
- Overview: 0-4
- 2018 matches: 0-3
- Average of the tournament : 99.36 – 98.85
- Tournament 180s : 14 – 22
- Order% : 52.11% (37/71) – 36.04% (37/111)
Hardly anyone would have predicted a Jeffrey Zwaan v Gary Anderson semifinal before the tournament start but now it's a reality, we are suddenly waiting for something special.
In the space of three memorable games in Blackpool this week, a 22-year-old who began as a 750/1 outsider for glory has suddenly established himself as one of the rising stars of faster in the darts, although avid fans of the sport already knew his flourishing talents.
Since returning to the qualifying school early in the year He surprised Michael van Gerwen at the UK Open – in camera due to this great winter freeze – while his encouraging results on the Pro Tour, including a first title at a tournament of players – again qualified for this major for the first time despite being ranked 68 in the world.
With a precious little experience of manipulating the atmosphere of a sold-out venue like the Winter Gardens, MVG clearly had an added advantage in addition to its impressive but he did not lose Zwaan, who beat Adrian Lewis, who went up the rankings this year. After that, he would not really have to be considered an underdog against Chizzy – as I wrote in my Thursday taster – and that did not really surprise me when he did a parody of these chances by victory He finished the match with an average of 103.33, reached eight hundred ninety and claimed a percentage of 51.72%, which was helped by a superb fund of 127 [19659004] The Black Cobra also has the highest average of the tournament (99.36), as well as the second highest percentage of players remaining at 52.11%. Anderson should have a real test on Saturday night. Flying Scotsman, who told us in this interview below that he expected Zwaan to defeat MVG at the opening night, was not likely to rely on him [19659053]. victory over Joe Cullen who will live long in the memory for all those who are present or who look at the house.
Incidentally, I missed that perfect leg as it coincided with de Zwaan's interview – but the rest of the match and the electrical atmosphere Certainl
In any case, enough of my memories of the winter gardens, who will win?
Well, unlike the shock with Chizzy, I can not dispute that Anderson is a favorite or even the tournament favorite to raise this prestigious trophy for the first time in his brilliant career.
In fact, if he continues to do so, he will only be the third person behind Phil Taylor and MVG to win both the World Championship and the World Matchplay. ] But let's not let the widespread love for Ando obscure our judgment here. He survived the game darts against Cullen and then expressed his disappointment about his finish, which made him miss 38 doubles attempts.
He did not play anywhere like his superb demonstration against Raymond van Barneveld in the previous round where he had an average of 104 and 47% of his doubles – so he's coming back to that standard, I think it's fair to say that there is only one winner.
Anderson also won all four games, including three this year, and even though he finished in the top 11, the double world champion is clearly more experienced than the longest. 19659004] I will support him through a fascinating encounter, but if you run most of the 180s – he is hit more than anyone with 22 – then you get the double to evens.
My other advice is that there are 28.5 paws, a high case of more than 141.5 and more than 17.5 total of 180s to 7/2
Prediction : De Zwaan 14-17 Anderson
