Dave Chisnall would have felt he dodged a bullet tonight as his finishing saved him against Vincent van der Voort and brought him a third round place at the 2020 PDC World Championship.
Chisnall hit 64 percent on the doubles with a high checkout of 124 as he saw off only 24 percent from his opponent. This came after only four 180s from the St Helens ace and a 93 average meaning it was good but not his high standard.
To start off, Chisnall pounced in the first set on missed darts from Van der Voort as 'The Dutch Destroyer' missed six and he hit tops to take it.
The St Helens ace continued in that vein hitting a third 180 and taking out 97 to lead. It was soon four legs on the spin for Chizzy as he broke throw and hit 68 to double his lead. He went onto win the set 3-1 to assert his dominance.
Despite that, it was a quick fire break for Van der Voort as he went 2-0 up in the next set and he completed it without a reply to potentially turn it around.
Chisnall led though in the fourth set pinning a 124 checkout on the bull and hit a 56 checkout to go one away. Van der Voort couldn't finish on 67 and Chisnall pinned double 10 to claim victory.

- If he went on the Seniors tour surely he would mop up the titles?Mysstree26-11-2024
- I'll miss Steve Thank you for all the memories and great matches. I was there when he (luckily) won the 96 World Championship, I expected him to win and perfom better in the PDC than he did as he moved over so early when he still had good form. Looks great for 60, today's players should take note !! Sure he was a driving instructor when in the BDO. A cool guy, very friendly and interesting to chat with.No theatrics on stage, just got on and played darts Sign him up SKY !!!richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- I agree. With the number of tournaments these days?, Phil could probably earn £2 million a year if still playing. I can't believe Chisnall has earned over half a million for being so inept, he barely gets past the first round, stealing a living. That's outrageous.richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- As prize money increases each year and there are now more tournaments then logically breaking the £2 million barrier is going to happen, only thing preventing it is the now deeper strength in depth of the darting field. If you took Taylor’s best two consecutive years and substituted the prize money from now onto the tournaments he won he would have passed the £2 million.Mysstree26-11-2024
- Only Gary Anderson in MVG’s quarter who should really trouble him assuming he wins his first two games. If he can’t get out of that quarter of the draw he will be hard pushed to win another World Title.Mysstree26-11-2024
