The first semi-final is confirmed at the German Darts Championship with Jonny Clayton set to face off against Mervyn King later on this evening.
King began the evening session with a 6-2 win over James Wade as his phenomenal weekend continued. This comes after victory over Michael van Gerwen in the afternoon session and the Bradwell ace seems to be on a mission this weekend.
Stats wise, he averaged 99.7 with 55% on the doubles. He took an early lead in the tie at 2-1 up motoring out of the blocks and despite Wade levelling the game from there, he regained the upper hand and broke with a 100 checkout to make it 4-2.
Three consecutive legs saw him consolidate that lead and go 5-2 up. He completed the feat with a 62 checkout with Wade back on 160 to keep himself in proceedings.
Clayton and Chisnall followed that up and served up an epic in Hildesheim. Both players played their part with it going all the way to a decider with ‘The Ferret’ just edging proceedings.
He averaged 103 with three 180’s and a high checkout of 156 with a checkout percentage of 46%. Chisnall in defeat was almost flawless on the doubles showing the fine margins with two ton plus checkouts and 5/6 on the doubles.
In the end with Chisnall sat on 76 himself for the match after getting himself down from 176, the Welshman struck with an 80 checkout to put the tie to bed and move through. Can he win a second European Tour title?
