Wade marches into final of European Darts Grand Prix with win over Noppert
NewsSunday, 06 May 2018 at 21:11
James Wade has continued his brilliant return to form with a Machine like performance to see off Danny Noppert who was into his first PDC semi-final.
He will now face Michael van Gerwen who smashed Michael Smith 7-0 and will know he will have an uphill battle to see off 'Mighty Mike' but if anyone can do it, Wade can.
'The Machine' hit a 96.6 average which was enough to beat Noppert 7-3 who averaged just a tiny bit less than the former 7 time major champion. He hit 53% of his doubles which was the key and could be an asset he could use against Van Gerwen.

- 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

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
