Michael Smith saw off Ryan Searle on Friday in another win which underlined his title challenge for this year’s PDC World Darts Championship.
Smith will next play Luke Humphries and ‘Bully Boy’ said that while he was pleased, he still has a lot more in the tank.
‘When he played well, I stepped up and when he dropped off, I did the same thing but I did enough to win. There’s still a lot more to give and I am still happy I’ve got it in the tank,’ said Smith.
On the potential of being the champion in a few days time, he reiterated that he wants it to be the centrepiece at his wedding and he knows that whether it’s this year or in one to come, he will win it.
‘I keep saying I want the trophy to be the centrepiece at my wedding. I want it sat there on the table and when I go on honeymoon, then I’ll buy it’s own seat on the plane.’
He added: ‘I don’t deserve the trophy or don’t think I do. Whether it’s going to be now or in twenty years later, I know I'm going to win one and I hope it’s this year.’

- Yes, she is extremely beautiful, sure she went out with Webster(Mark) so doesn't have much taste in men for someone so stunningly beautiful. Aileen is very attractive as well, she kisses every time she throws.richieburnettrocks29-11-2024
- I am attending most of the week and quite looking forward to it. Not sure it has any TV coverage and that won't help. I haven't seen Paul Lim at Lakeside since 94 when John Part completely blitzed him. I would like to see Gary Stone win, talented but not had much success at the championship.

- It’s a (as good as) gauranteed £25,000 for not a lot of effort.Mysstree28-11-2024
- Pathetic. The media attention she would receive at the PDC alone would more than compensate her for the quiet WDF comp. And if she wins a match, which she is more than capable of doing, the attention would go through the roof. I do not see the attraction of winning a tin pot comp over the massive PDC Worlds.medinabello28-11-2024
- I think with players above those mentioned in the rankings that haven't qualified for the Worlds in 2023 and haven't done so this year (players like Whitlock, King etc) they are guaranteed to stay in the top 64davetat18027-11-2024
