Gurney looks ahead after Quarter-Final win over Wright: 'I've got a massive opportunity to win this title'

Daryl Gurney claimed an unlikely victory in some regard against the heavily fancied Peter Wright to move through to the World Matchplay semi-finals and he sees the big opportunity coming his way.

Gurney will now face off against Rob Cross on Saturday night in the first semi-final; he said that despite not being the best player in the world, he called himself a grafter who can beat these players.

He added that he might've shown composure but inside it was a different story as he came through a brilliant battle with 'Snakebite'.

"It might've looked like I showed composure on the outside, but inside I felt like a little kid," Gurney admitted.

"I know I'm never going to be the best player in the world, but I'm a grafter who can beat the best players in the world.

"As usual I did it the hard way, but I'm through now and I've got a massive opportunity to win this title."
