Wade continues winning streak over Smith to make back-to-back Players Championship finals, will face impressive De Zwaan who saw off Henderson
NewsSunday, 14 April 2019 at 17:25
The final is confirmed at Players Championship 12 with James Wade once again involved, this time against Jeffrey de Zwaan who makes his return to a final for the first time in a while.
Wade made it 15 wins in his last 16 meetings as he saw off Michael Smith who he defeated in the final yesterday and he did so in typical 'Machine' fashion hitting a 112 checkout to claim the win with 'Bully Boy' sitting on the exact same finish to potentially get a foothold back in the game.
He will face a tough task though as he faces off against 'The Black Cobra' who was terrific against John Henderson continuing the theme of the day hitting a 106 average.
De Zwaan caught fire this time last year on the Pro Tour in the run up to the World Matchplay where he reached the semi-finals, can he do it again?

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
