Gabriel Clemens saw his superb run at the PDC World Darts Championship stopped in the semi-final against Michael Smith on Monday night. 'Bully Boy' was too strong in a 6-2 win over the 'German Giant'.
The German was able to keep up with an unleashed Smith in the first four sets, but then saw him surge ahead. Still, Clemens could look back with a satisfied feeling.
''I had to play someone who really threw everything. He kept throwing 180s and hitting high finishes. The better player won,'' Clemens showed sportsmanship afterwards in conversation with DAZN.
''I think I didn't play bad myself. It was very cool to play a semi-final at a world championship. I would like to experience that again. I now hope Michael Smith also wins the world title,'' Clemens concluded.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
