"I thought I was out. I had my jacket on was getting ready to go but Chris said 'no you are in,'" Wenig continued. The German believes that the second chance he felt he'd recieved allowed him to relax and begin throwing with freedom, producing his best darts.

"Once my head changed, the game against Neil was my best game of the week. I played fantastic," he explains. "Against John I was really confused at the start because it wasn't working. I thought 'what the f*ck?' But in the end I played fantastic and it was good enough."
