Gary Anderson is through to the Quarter-Finals of the 2020/21 PDC World Darts Championship after breezing past Devon Petersen in a straight sets victory.
Petersen played well scoring wise with five 180's and a 94 average but his doubling was his downfall with 4/14 (29%) compared to 12/12 (52%) from 'The Flying Scotsman' who now takes on Dirk van Duijvenbode or Glen Durrant next.
To begin the tie, Anderson had a bounceout going for a 126 and with Petersen
unable to pin the same target to hold, ‘The Flying Scotsman’ broke throw and
flew into a 2-0 lead on double 10 despite averaging just 83.
The first set was concluded with a clean sweep for Anderson
as he flew into an early lead. Petersen though roared back with a break in the form
of a 110 checkout and double his lead from there.
He began to pick up steam but Anderson smashed in a 160
checkout out of nowhere to pile pressure onto Petersen to conclude the set.
He didn’t and Anderson pinned double two to suddenly go
towards a two set lead after Petersen dominated the set. A 97 checkout saw
Anderson claim it 3-2 to suddenly head into a 2-0 lead.
A 70 checkout saw a 14 darter from Petersen to open the set
and hold but missed doubles continued to be a problem as he threw away the set
in a deciding leg and this handed Anderson daylight.
An 80 checkout followed by Anderson to continue his
procession through into the fourth set and a clean sweep followed from there
finished with a 64 checkout on double eight.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
