Wattimena finishes Players Championship double header with 98.47 average over 103 legs
NewsMonday, 18 June 2018 at 10:30
Jermaine Wattimena had a brilliant weekend and moved up to 33rd in the Order of Merit as a result. This brilliant weekend was underlined with the Machine Gun hitting a 98 average over 103 legs played.
For Wattimena this lead to two semi-finals where in both of them he was cruelly denied an opportunity to make a first PDC final.
This though has lead Wattimena into contention for a lot; including seedings for European Tours where for 11 and 12 if he can make up enough money in the next events he will be a seed.
Also he only needs to make up £23,500 on Raymond van Barneveld the rest of the year to be the Dutch number two after the World Championship. This of course could mean he has to win a title but as his recent form suggests that is not beneath him as he is playing the best darts of his career based off this past weekend.

- @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
