Phil Taylor keeps final World Championship dreams alive with win over Gary Anderson
NewsFriday, 29 December 2017 at 23:01
Phil Taylor has kept his World Championship dreams alive after defeating Gary Anderson by 5 sets to 3 in the last Quarter-Final before tomorrow's 2 deciding semi-finals.
'The Power' hit a 102 average, twelve 180's and 50% on the doubles as he shut the lights out on 'The Flying Scotsman''s charge to the World title. Anderson was not completely on form which showed as despite him pulling it back towards the end, his back injury did show in spells in the match and as a result it didn't go as far as potentially it usually would.
Taylor will play first tomorrow against Jamie Lewis to potentially book a final appearance against Michael van Gerwen where he will be hoping to walk off with a 17th title into the sunset to finish his career.

- @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
