A real surprise last four has emerged from the latest Players Championship tournament in Hildesheim with two stand-out former winners left and two that have not won PDC titles previously in the reckoning.
Brendan Dolan has been one of the standout players all day and he took down Daryl Gurney in his latest win. This after defeating Dom Taylor priorly with a 101 average. He faces Graham Hall who is in the final year of his two-year Tour Card so if he is able to win today, it would give him a huge boost. He edged past Danny Noppert 6-5.
In the other half is Jeffrey de Graaf who returned to the tour recently and he averaged 93 in taking down Scott Williams. He now faces Krzysztof Ratajski who like Dolan produces these sorts of runs and saw off Stephen Bunting for a spot in the last four.
