Chisnall edges past Gurney in closely fought tie to begin Night Two at 2020 Masters

Chisnall was wearing new glasses and it didn't cause him many issues with him hitting nine 180's and a 93 average in a 10-8 win; despite only using them since Wednesday. Next up will be Peter Wright or Joe Cullen.

Chisnall had a superb start and despite not hitting his stride in his opening visit leaving the commentators potentially questioning his choice to wear spectacles, he slammed in a 100 checkout to lead.

It was very close though to begin the tie with Chisnall moving ahead just with a 3-2 lead despite taking a break in the next leg but this was soon cancelled out.

He broke again to lead 4-2 with a 74 checkout and he was up at 4/7 on his doubles and held his throw to lead 5-2 and put doubts in the mind of Gurney.

He answered those though making inroads with a 117 checkout en route to trailing 5-4 with a break of throw and at the next break, he responded to make it parity at 5-5 with three consecutive legs.

Chisnall once again reestablished a two leg cushion to make it 7-5 after Gurney missed three darts at double. Could he see it out?

Gurney was fighting though and pinned a brilliant 128 checkout to trail 7-6. It was parity again as a result with Gurney hitting a 72 checkout and this was repeated with it going to 8-8.

Despite that though it was missed chances that blighted Gurney again with him missing chances to send it to a decider and Chisnall moved through a 10-8 winner. Could his new spectacles prove a winning addition this weekend?
