Cross is a major contender after smashing James Wade 8-3. He hit a 106.2 average, five 180’s and hit 50% on his doubles as ‘Voltage’ staked his claim to win the Shanghai Darts Masters.
Wright had a less easy route as he saw off Gerwyn Price in a decider. It was a tense clash between the pair and there was seven missed match darts for ‘Snakebite’ as well as one for Price. The form Cross is in shows that he won’t be let off the hook as easy in the semis.
