NewsWednesday, 25 July 2018 at 20:23
Simon Whitlock took advantage of a misfiring James Wade despite not being at his peak to see off the Machine and claim a spot in the Quarter-Finals of the World Matchplay.
Whitlock hit an average of 93.96 with 5 maximums overall despite his checkout rate being 28%.
His scoring was the key and Wade wasn’t reliable even on his favourite doubles such as D20 and D10.
For ‘The Wizard’ he is into his 3rd World Matchplay Quarter-Final since 2013 and he will face either Peter Wright or Kim Huybrechts who play later.

- I'll miss Steve Thank you for all the memories and great matches. I was there when he (luckily) won the 96 World Championship, I expected him to win and perfom better in the PDC than he did as he moved over so early when he still had good form. Looks great for 60, today's players should take note !! Sure he was a driving instructor when in the BDO. A cool guy, very friendly and interesting to chat with.No theatrics on stage, just got on and played darts Sign him up SKY !!!richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- I agree. With the number of tournaments these days?, Phil could probably earn £2 million a year if still playing. I can't believe Chisnall has earned over half a million for being so inept, he barely gets past the first round, stealing a living. That's outrageous.richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- As prize money increases each year and there are now more tournaments then logically breaking the £2 million barrier is going to happen, only thing preventing it is the now deeper strength in depth of the darting field. If you took Taylor’s best two consecutive years and substituted the prize money from now onto the tournaments he won he would have passed the £2 million.Mysstree26-11-2024
- Only Gary Anderson in MVG’s quarter who should really trouble him assuming he wins his first two games. If he can’t get out of that quarter of the draw he will be hard pushed to win another World Title.Mysstree26-11-2024
