Race to World Grand Prix: Henderson secures spot, Chisnall guarantees seeding
NewsTuesday, 11 September 2018 at 16:30
The World Grand Prix is the next major on the PDC Calendar taking place at the back end of this month with only one event to go before the cut off.
In the race to the World Grand Prix, John Henderson has guaranteed himself a spot being number nine on the Pro Tour ranking. Currently Steve Lennon, Ricky Evans, Steve Beaton, Josh Payne, Jeffrey de Zwaan; as well as Ron Meulenkamp and Keegan Brown sit in the qualification spots.
Only Lennon, Beaton and potentially De Zwaan and Meulenkamp can still influence their position. Kyle Anderson seems most likely to secure his spot of those outside the top 16. He is in good form and will be involved in Riesa. Further down Robert Thornton has to reach a semi-final and Ryan Joyce a final to change proceedings.
In terms of seedings, Dave Chisnall secured at least 8th seed, this is due mainly to Michael Smith and James Wade withdrawing from Riesa.

- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @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
