Draw UK Open Darts 2025 Semi-Finals: FInd out the fate of the last four as FA Cup of Darts concludes in Minehead
PDCThe semi-final draw has been completed with two more times before the showpiece final tonight at the 2025 UK Open in Minehead as Luke Littler, Jonny Clayton, Josh Rock and James Wade remain.

The first semi-final and these will be played in draw order sees Jonny Clayton who saw off Michael Smith earlier this afternoon 10-8 face off against the prodigy Luke Littler.
The current World Champion will see his odds of claiming a first UK Open heightened now. Luke Humphries lost to end the afternoon and he has only really been caught at times by Krzysztof Ratajski.

But Clayton is no push-over. He is a multiple time major champion for a reason and this run has been coming since he went into the darting doldrums and popped out the other side and is finally getting results again.
It was only around a year and a half ago when Clayton was part of the darting elite and he will look to cause an upset to send himself into the showpiece final.
Perhaps all eyes though will be on a potential blockbuster clash between Littler and Josh Rock in the final in one bound to be heralded as the start of the new era. But awaiting Rock is a player who has been honest about his want to return to the top. That is James Wade.
He has won this title three times and said last week that his career would be a failure in his eyes if he doesn't win a major. One week later can the stars align or will Rock shut the door in his face.

Wade saw off Luke Humphries earlier this afternoon and likely needs similar scoring power to his six 180's in three legs to match Rock in that department. 'Rocky' has a new perspective after becoming a father and getting married but can that gleam major success.
if he faces Littler, it will be the player everyone thought would be in that slot in Rock who was heralded as the next coming vs the player currently in that position. But who comes on top from the four remaining tonight. What a treat in store either way.

- Well,I suppose if you don't play the tournaments ,then why should any player qualify? There are players who enter every tournament,and if they don't win it,they carry on, spending money they haven't won,yet certain players seem to think they should qualify. Winners only I thinkrick6714-11-2026
- Everyone knows what a fantastic champion Taylor was,but his performances in the seniors were poor. He wouldn't throw littler off stage,as he'd miss these days!!rick6712-11-2026
- He produced some impressive numbers in that qualifying campaign. I'm excited to see him compete at the World Championship once again, even if it will be difficult to replicate last year's success even with an improved performance, with the draw playing a huge role in determining his fortunes.Deduce635811-11-2026
- I often think about this very question. I think they should revive the format. They could even invite representatives from MODUS Super Series, with four series winners from the past year, and the ADC, with finalists from the Global Championship and perhaps other events. Why not throw in eligible representatives from the JDC and even the soft-tip game too?Deduce635811-11-2026
- So what if littler missed out, he doesnt have to enter everythingant10-11-2026
- Good, absolutely no loss if we never see this dancing goof ever again......no that is not fair. He absolutely cannot and has never been remotely able to dance!richieburnettrocks10-11-2026
- Yes Phil,now the money in the game is bigger than ever,you'd play littler. Well so would I! Retire on your memory Phil,and your successful careerrick6709-11-2026
- And why should he listen to you?Deduce635807-11-2026
- Ultimately it is a bye for whoever draws Barney. It will be another stroppy and sulky performance once he goes behind. Barney was excellent but really must completely call it a day now.richieburnettrocks07-11-2026
- I'm disappointed he was not able to secure a spot at the Grand Slam. With Carl Sneyd taking care of Daryl Gurney, he would have had to beat Andy Boulton before facing the winner of Sneyd vs Mensur Suljović for a Grand Slam spot. Unfortunately, after beating Filip Bereza comfortably, he succumbed to Boulton, and the board would ultimately be won by the highly inconsistent Carl Sneyd. Since he could instead have been drawn against the likes of Cristo Reyes, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Stephen Bunting, I think once Gurney was out of the picture he would have been favourite to win his board, and it seems like a massive missed opportunity to put 5 grand on his ranking and seal another major TV appearance ahead of the Worlds. The highs and lows of following Raymond van Barneveld!Deduce635806-11-2026
