Dave Chisnall has withdrawn from the William Hill World Darts Championship after testing positive for Covid-19 ahead of his match with Luke Humphries. Humphries will receive a bye to the last 16 and Wednesday afternoon's session will continue with two matches.
Chisnall next victim of COVID-19 infection at World Darts Championship

Once again a player has been forced to leave the PDC World Darts Championship. This time it is not a Dutchman who has tested positive, but Dave Chisnall, last year's semi-finalist.
Earlier this week, Vincent van der Voort and Michael van Gerwen already tested positive, after which they were eliminated from the tournament. Raymond van Barneveld also tested positive, but that was already after his defeat against Rob Cross.
Due to the positive test of Chisnall, the Englishman had to withdraw from the tournament. Luke Humphries, who would have been his opponent in the third round, gets a bye to the fourth round. Chris Dobey, who took advantage of Michael van Gerwen's withdrawal, is waiting for him.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
- Covid or Vaccine victim?Mysstree03-11-2024
- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
