Updated Race to World Matchplay ahead of cut off: Klaasen opens lead over North
NewsTuesday, 26 June 2018 at 10:15
The cut off for World Matchplay is coming up and there could still be movement in terms of those qualifying for the Winter Gardens. At the moment though, Jelle Klaasen holds the last provisional spot from the ProTour ranking.
This is despite a poor year so far for Klaasen who potentially could have seen him missing out on the World Matchplay. Richard North is £1,000 behind him but while The Cobra can still qualify for the final European Tour before the cut off; North has to rely on the Players Championship events
One player who could fall out is in the seedings, Alan Norris currently sits 15th but has Kim Huybrechts, Adrian Lewis & Joe Cullen all behind him.
Huybrechts himself is the final seed but will want to go higher to avoid meeting Van Gerwen early on and is qualified himself for Hamburg due to James Wade’s withdrawal.

- Ahhh if only Jacquie dressed like this bint above, she'd still be presenting. Jacquie was absolutely fantastic, incredibly knowledgeable, immaculately attired and beautiful. It seems nowadays, females presenting on darts have to show skin and be completely clueless, relying on whoever is telling them what to say in their earpiece. I still don't understand how the walk on girls were axed, yet you have scantily clad dancers with pom poms and presenters with see through tops, clearly exposing their bra or showing more leg than that Sharon Stone film. I'll never watch ITV darts again, such a shame as it was the world leader.richieburnettrocks11-01-2026

- Have you noticed in honour of the great man ,Richie Burnett that Waitrose have designed their current carrier bags with a bright green W...very reminiscent of the shirt Richie wore in the 90s Never in the history of darts do we need a player to withdraw and provide that safety net for the greatest player in darts. Seeing as Richie Burnett is a World Champion he should have a permanent tour card.richieburnettrocks09-01-2026
- Come on big lad,you say something, delete it,so what's the beef? You lost 5-0. Did he just lose his tissue whilst crying? If you can't do it, don't. You wouldn't catch your dad wiping your nose! All the greats of the past,and a snotty kid boy who lost. Boo boo. Come on Mr Burnett,you know you agree with me!!! You are a true gentrick6707-01-2026
