Peter Wright believes Jonny Clayton will be a 'dangerous customer' ahead of Round 2 clash
NewsSaturday, 28 October 2017 at 09:00
Peter Wright started his campaign in Hasselt yesterday in his hunt for another major title after having successes in the UK Open and most recently the German Darts Masters. He had the test of Krzysztof Ratajski, the Polish Eagle in Round 1 but dispatched him quite easily and admitted he was a bit nervous and then he spoke about his opponent tonight, Jonny Clayton and hyped him up before the game.
"I was a little bit nervous but I got over the line," said Wright, who averaged 98.06. "I knew I had a tough game because Krzysztof has been fantastic and done really well this year.
"It started off really well and I did alright in patches, but I let him back into the match and I shouldn't have."
Wright now faces a second round tie with Jonny Clayton on tonight, and he added: "Jonny's been playing some fantastic darts for the past month or so and he's going to be a dangerous customer, so it should be a really good game."

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
