Anderson set to face Ratajski in Players Championship 8 Final

Gary Anderson will again get his chance for a first PDC title in over three years when he faces Krzysztof Ratajski shortly at Players Championship 8 after coming short earlier in the season against Ross Smith.

Anderson produced a statement in his semi-final battering Gerwyn Price 7-3 with five 180's, a 141 checkout and a 101.8 average and will now take on a perennial winner in Ratajski who after some ropey form has gone back to his best in recent weeks.

Ratajski sealed victory over Ricardo Pietreczko in style with a 170 checkout averaging just under 110, if Anderson is going to win his first title in a number of years, he may have to do it the hard way.
