Whitlock sees off North in convincing fashion to move into Round 2 at World Matchplay
NewsMonday, 23 July 2018 at 21:36
Simon Whitlock is through with a commanding victory over Richard North, a close friend winning 10-2 in a game that could have been a whitewash in the end.
Whitlock used points that were Allan keys as he continues to tinker with his best set up. On his route through to round 2 at the World Matchplay he hit four 180’s and a high checkout of 126.
North struggled with his opening game on the World Matchplay stage which is understandable but if form is anything to go by he will be back.
‘The Wizard’ will face either James Wade or Jermaine Wattimena in Round 2 later this week.

- Yes, she is extremely beautiful, sure she went out with Webster(Mark) so doesn't have much taste in men for someone so stunningly beautiful. Aileen is very attractive as well, she kisses every time she throws.richieburnettrocks29-11-2024
- I am attending most of the week and quite looking forward to it. Not sure it has any TV coverage and that won't help. I haven't seen Paul Lim at Lakeside since 94 when John Part completely blitzed him. I would like to see Gary Stone win, talented but not had much success at the championship.

- It’s a (as good as) gauranteed £25,000 for not a lot of effort.Mysstree28-11-2024
- Pathetic. The media attention she would receive at the PDC alone would more than compensate her for the quiet WDF comp. And if she wins a match, which she is more than capable of doing, the attention would go through the roof. I do not see the attraction of winning a tin pot comp over the massive PDC Worlds.medinabello28-11-2024
- I think with players above those mentioned in the rankings that haven't qualified for the Worlds in 2023 and haven't done so this year (players like Whitlock, King etc) they are guaranteed to stay in the top 64davetat18027-11-2024
