Noppert made his first PDC semi-final with a 6-5 win over Joe Cullen. He hit a 91.09 average with 2 180's but only hit 27% on his doubles which could have been his downfall but he got over the line.
Wade his opponent hit a 90 average with 1 maximum and a 24% checkout rate as he eventually saw off Simon Whitlock. It was a typical Machine performance of doing just enough and he will hope that can take him to the title.
