NewsMonday, 23 July 2018 at 23:26
The first round is complete at the World Matchplay with Peter Wright the final player through with a routine 10-5 victory over Jelle Klaasen.
A 90 average with two 180’s gave Wright the win, but he will know that he has to step it up in round two Of the PDC Darts World Matchplay.
Along the way, ‘Snakebite’ hit a showpiece 170 checkout showing that despite him not being at his 100% best that he can still produce.
For Klaasen, it is further woes for the Cobra who in the last year or so hasn’t been at his best and he didn’t take advantage of holding onto his position in Blackpool last month.

- 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
- It is simply not true to say that these 5 players are guaranteed to keep their Tour Cards. At least Karel Sedlacek, Dylan Slavin and Stephen Burton are in danger of losing them, especially if they fail to win their first round match. Connor Scutt, Wesley Plaisier and the three mentioned players will be fighting hard for their Tour Cards.mxxiv27-11-2024
