Chisnall reaches third Masters semi-final after edging past Smith

Dave Chisnall has reached the semi-finals for the third time at the Masters after seeing off Michael Smith in an all St Helens battle 10-8.
Chisnall has been ultra impressive this weekend in his first tournament since an abrupt end to his World Championship due to COVID-19.
This continued as he averaged 97.5, hit seven 180's and four ton plus finishes on the way to downing the recent World finalist.
Chisnall took out 105 to begin the tie against Smith and added a 124 checkout to that tally by going 2-1 up.
At the interval, Smith though was within touching distance at 3-2 down with a 95 checkout as he kept pace with his fellow St Helens ace.
But three legs on the spin saw Smith edge into a 4-3 lead. This lead though wasn't built upon as Chisnall took out 153 to break throw and make it 5-4.
A turning point followed as it was another ton plus checkout in 125 on bull, 25, bull to go 6-5 ahead and he went two clear from there as Smith missed two darts at double.
Chisnall went one away as his dominance continued but he nearly didn't get over the line with six match darts squandered and Smith looked to force a decider.
But in the end, Chisnall sunk double 18 to claim the tie and not allow Smith to have a shot at claiming it.

- I might actually enter this next year,for Β£5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- 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
