NewsFriday, 02 February 2018 at 19:48
The semi-final's of the first UK Open Qualifier at the Robin Park Tennis Centre in Wigan are set with 4 of the world's best squaring off against each other for the 10,000 pounds winners cheque and the pride of being the first player to win a ProTour title in 2018. Those include Michael van Gerwen and Peter Wright who could meet in the final.
Also there are semi-finals for Michael Smith and Adrian Lewis. Van Gerwen smashed Daryl Gurney 6-1 in just under 15 minutes and took out 130 for the match to show he is the best player in the world and the favourite for today's title.
Wright himself came through a close encounter with Kim Huybrechts winning 6-4 and will play Michael Smith who defeated Kyle Anderson 6-3.
Finally Adrian Lewis defeated the unknwon quantity of today, Jose Antonio Justicia Perales and the game went down to the wire in a deciding leg shootout which means 'Jackpot' who is seemingly returning to the form that saw him win in Milton Keynes last year in the Players Championship series will play 'Mighty Mike' in the other semi-final of today.

- @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
