Chisnall full of praise for Smith ahead of Masters Quarter-Final meeting: "He deserves it, he puts so much work in to do it"

Dave Chisnall is through to a Quarter-Final clash with Michael Smith at the Masters after easing past James Wade 10-4 with a 100 average.

"The first session was great, I think I could have been 4-1 up, happy with 3-2. It didn't feel like when I was throwing the darts that it was hitting the board right but after the break went down, dust myself off and start throwing my darts how I throw them," said Chisnall post match.

Chisnall was full of praise for his fellow St Helens ace though saying he believes he deserved the World title he lost out on last month.

"He always produces, he's just been very unlucky. To be fair, I put on Facebook when he lost that final, I was gutted for him. He deserves it, he puts so much work in to do it. That kid, he's so good."

"He's the future that lad, he's got it. He'll bounce right back."
