World Matchplay field confirmed: Six players set for debut in Blackpool
NewsMonday, 02 July 2018 at 09:00
Last night saw the final ranking event before the cut off for the World Matchplay taking place in just under three weeks at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool.
The 16 seeds involved begin with Michael van Gerwen of course who will be desperate to add the World Matchplay to his collection again; something he was denied by Phil Taylor last year.
It ends with Kim Huybrechts and Adrian Lewis, Huybrechts lost to Willie O’Connor yesterday who reached the final but in the end this was enough to be ahead of Lewis and potentially avoid an early meeting with Michael van Gerwen.
In terms of the ProTour field, it is headed up by Jonny Clayton who will make his World Matchplay debut after picking up two titles in the past 8 months. Towards the bottom Richard North just did enough to get in with Jelle Klaasen having a late surge to finish in 13th.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
