Gary Anderson scored heavily and led Mensur Suljovic throughout in a confident display. Anderson’s 11-4 victory puts him into the final where he will face Peter Wright or Michael van Gerwen.
The semi-finals kicked off with Mensur Suljovic facing Anderson in a repeat of the World Matchplay final. The first two legs went with throw, Suljovic and Anderson both finding tops to get on the scoreboard. “The Gentle” regained the lead with a 32 finish but his favourite double 14 failed him in the next leg, straying into the eleven as the Scotsman levelled.
Anderson broke throw in leg five with a 81 finish and consolidated that break with a nervy double 5. A classy 92 finish from the Austrian reduced the deficit to 4-3 going into the break.
“The Flying Scotsman” doubled his lead after the interval, starting with a 180 and finishing with a tidy 96 finish. The game’s second break followed, a double 18 gave Anderson the breathing space of a three-leg lead. Double 5 was the Scotsman’s friend once again as he found it to open up a four leg advantage. It was 180s galore in leg 11 as Anderson found two maximums to set up a 41 finish which he dispatched.
A 12 darter ending on double four edged the world number four even closer to victory. Suljovic stopped the rot with a double 10, ending Anderson’s run of five consecutive legs. The twice World Champion planted another double 18 to move a leg from victory at the second intermission. “Ando” controlled the last leg, he hit tops to end Suljovic’s reign as champion and progress to the final once again.

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
