Round 2:
Tomorrow morning (4:00am AEST to 8:00am AEST)
R Cross v C Rydz
L Humphries v K Ratajski
G Price v J Clayton
D Van den Bergh v D Chisnall

Should be in store for a cracking session with all matches capable of going the distance and we should see the first match of the tournament to head to Sudden Death (25th leg).

Just caught up with Monday's action.
Have to say i'm quite surprised in no extra time so far.
2nd half not too shabby either.

Michael Smith v Jose de Sousa
Gary Anderson v Nathan Aspinall
Michael van Gerwen v Ian White
Peter Wright v Joe Cullen

Given his struggles on the TV stage throughout his career, I would love to see Ian White go very deep in a major tournament.

Relishes the crowd returning and proclaimed in interviews pre tournament that he would win the Matchplay and World Championship. One of the best finishers in the game and his doubling percentage will likely be the deciding factor in his quarter final matchup against Michael Smith.

Also, delighted us with his customary equipment change mid match.

Watching Anderson v Aspinall now

EPIC darts in 15th leg onwards

149 check out from Anderson was amazing and hilarious

Very glad I got up in time to catch the 2nd half of the match.

Great chance for Aspinall to make the Semi Finals, given the form of his upcoming opponent.

MVG v White was the worst match

Total letdown crap darts

Disappointing that White was unable to hold throw for a few crucial legs towards the middle/latter stages of the match but has become part and parcel on the big stage for him.

I gather you would have preferred his soothing siren call rather than the disturbing lack of treble 20’s.

Has a history of similar incidents over his career, such as the 2018 Grand Slam Final against Gary Anderson.

Dimitri handled it perfectly and professionally, giving it the attention it rightfully deserves (none) and let his darts do the talking.

Can't say i am really looking forward to first SF.
Good players but not much emotion between them.
