Dave Chisnall has opened up the 2021 World Matchplay with a hard fought victory over Vincent van der Voort seeing off 'The Dutch Destroyer' in a 10-8 victory.
Chisnall hit a 97.5 average, four 180's and 10/14 on the doubles as he produced at the right moments to edge past the Dutchman.
To begin the tie, Chisnall missed double 18 for a 110 checkout and Van der Voort held throw from there with double four to lead.
Chsinall squared it up though immediately with a 64 checkout to make it 1-1. They continued to level the tie from there with Chisnall pinning a 124 checkout to make it 2-2.
Until he hit 60 to hit the front for the first time at 3-2 up. Van der Voort was straight back though in this rapid fire opener with a 129 checkout on the bull to make it 3-3.
Chisnall was straight back for a 161 checkout to break back for a 4-3 advantage before a 100 clutch checkout saw him further ahead at 5-3.
At the interval, he kept that two leg cushion at 6-4 up and did so at 7-5 with 96 on double 18, double 20 to maintain it.
But back came Van der Voort who held to close the gap and broke to restore parity at 7-7.
Chisnall led again though at 8-7 after Van der Voort missed darts at doubles but just as it looked like a tiebreak was likely Chisnall struck back at 9-8 ahead and was throwing for the match which he claimed to battle through.

- Even the wild crowd went easy on him... we really have gone soft in this country. He should now play in the men's events and try and recover a smidgen of respect, rather than take advantage of the women's game.MrYnyslas197118-12-2024

- We don't need the Saudi's money and prohibitive laws. Simply take the World's to other countries like Germany, Holland, Scotland, Poland, Belgium. Not only will you get sell out crowds with bigger venues but it will also freshen up the comp a bit. Let's face it Ally Pally is getting a bit boring now. Imagine 10,000 in Berlin, Rotterdam, Brussels etc.medinabello15-12-2024
- Am probably going to be in a small minority, i would not miss the walk ons, best part used to be the lovely ladies which obviously now makes me a misogynist. Its all part of the razzamatazz show business side and its not that long so not something that winds me up however some of the walk on choices are abysmal while some work, MVG and Seven Nation Army being an example. Dimi the Dancer is / was just awful and Peter Wrights is old hat now.Mysstree14-12-2024
