Wade rolled back the years a bit there!

 

[paulscholes18]

Gilding's scoring has fell of the cliff the past 5 or so legs. MVG to cruise to victory from here

 

[F-Red]

Rob Cross is shocking this evening.

 

[paulscholes18]

Cross is beyond dumb at this point, keeps leaving 32 and not getting anywhere near it, left 36 once and hit it.

Wade hanging in there.

He is getting close to his best. Always liked Wade

Big ask to beat Humphries in this format though.

Yeah if Humphries is on his game he his top tier. Wades best is not close to Humphries, MVG, Smith or Littler but he can scrape a game against those players if they are off their game a tad.

Not tonight though

He did well to get to the semis to be fair. Should be a good final whoever goes through to play Humphries, would fancy Bully boy to go through if he is at his best but MVG has played well this week too.

Come on Bully Boy

 

[GlasgowCeltic]

Smith vs MVG always produces

Just thought the same. These two I could watch all night

 

[Port Vale Devil]

Humphries needs to start hitting these doubles. Could be 5-0 up

 

[paulscholes18]

Really good final

 

[Gavinb33]

The standard of darts at the end was ludicrous, MVG just to stay in multiple 100+ checkouts, Humphries is the best in the world

 

[CassiusClaymore]

Baldilocks loses again. You love to see it.

 

[Santos J]

Great semi there between Littler and Dimi

Great semi there between Littler and Dimi

Honestly think Dimi would have won the final he was throwing unbelievable.
That was some match although.
Tournaments are fast approaching now with the World Series Finals in Holland few weeks time.

Wow, can't remember match fixing rearing its ugly head in darts before.

Looking at the clip from one of the matches, rare you see a pro miss the board going for a double.

Wright looking good at the World Series, with a 103+ average beating Price in the QF and missing double 12 for the 9.

 

[Jippy]

Not sure about expanding the Masters to 32 players, so it gets an extra day in and becomes a ranking event.

I liked the old top 16 format. The increase to 24 players did work, in the sense that Dobey, Cullen and Bunting all subsequently won it from that 16-24 ranking segment, but with 32 now it just becomes another samey tournament. Top 16 was best of the best.

Great tournament in Germany, Littler coming back from the dead

Missed the finals evening cos of the time difference but delighted for Wright- he needed that.
Beating MVG with a 108.9 average in the QFs then Littler in the final shows it wasn't down to a lucky draw either. Hope Wright can win at least another major and stay top 16.
