Clayton set to face King in German Darts Championship semi-finals after epic win over Chisnall

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?

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
