Highest averages PDC Players Championship 21 | Jonny Clayton shows strong form ahead of World Matchplay
PDCThursday, 10 July 2025 at 09:00
Jonny Clayton posted the highest average of the day at Players Championship 21, as a string of sharp performances lit up Tuesday’s action at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester.
The Welshman delivered a stunning 108.75 in his second-round win over Mario Vandenbogaerde, producing some of his best darts in recent months. Despite that, Clayton's run ended in the last 16 with a narrow 6-5 defeat to Wesley Plaisier — but not before he left his mark on the averages leaderboard.
Second on the list was Bradley Brooks, who enjoyed a breakout day both statistically and in terms of results. The 25-year-old fired in a 108.72 in round one against William Borland, followed by 108.03 in round two versus Chris Dobey — giving him two of the top three averages recorded all day.
Brooks even added a fourth ton-plus average (101.64) later in the event as he went on to claim his first ever PDC ranking title, beating Gerwyn Price 8-5 in the final. But it was his scoring power across multiple rounds that truly stood out, with three of his performances appearing inside the top 15.

Elsewhere, Josh Rock continued his consistent form with a 105.15 average, while Andrew Gilding (104.79) and Wessel Nijman (103.68 and 102.82) also impressed. Nijman, one of two Dutchmen in the top ten alongside Kevin Doets (102.48), averaged over 102 twice on the day despite exiting in round two.
Chris Dobey posted two ton-plus efforts of his own (102.29 and 101.63), while Martijn Dragt made an impression with a 102.24 display. Plaisier (100.97), Hopp (101.33), and Rock again (101.33) rounded out a list of 16 players who broke the 100 mark.
With scoring levels remaining sky-high and the World Matchplay just around the corner, the floor season now pauses before resuming on 29 July in Hildesheim for Players Championship 22 — where more Blackpool hopefuls will look to make their case.

- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts. It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set. Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.richieburnettrocks04-12-2025

- Oh fudge off. Who the hell decided Mardull was preferred choice. Just look as its idiotic face. What a talentless waste of space What a travesty when you compare what ITV had. He comes across as a jokey person but it's a class A piece of sheet, miserable as hell and completely full of himself. I don't know anyone who can say anything positive about this goof. Hopefully he'll meet Chris Mason in a dark alley. It really is paving over paradise.richieburnettrocks26-11-2025
- Needs to get the dart tip up when he pulls the dart back and his game will come back.BandB25-11-2025
- Absolutely disgraceful, really I've said many times that ITV coverage is superior to SKY and SKY know that. Jacqui was absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Emma from SKY is more interested in what to wear than learning about darts. Chris Mason is absolutely the best and greatest commentator on TV, even better than Alex Jacques on F1 and Alex is absolutely brilliant. It is criminal that Chris and Alan will probably never be on TV again, what an amazing waste of talent. Poor Ned, who is just as excellent and knowledgeable on darts as the Tour de France has lost both gigs this year. The whole ITV team from presentation, commentary, production the whole team will definitely be missed and I have enjoyed every minute of their coverage. Thank you so much. John Part is the ONLY decent and knowledgeable person on SKY. I liked Glenn Durrant the player but he is awkward and dreadful on commentary all the rest are utterly useless.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025
- Gurney is off form and will completely crack and have a meltdown as the crowd will be relentless, although I think Beau will beat him anyway. I also think Fallon will beat the Helium voiced Chisnall. Poor Gemma has a toughie Peter Wright is also completely off the boil but will probably squeeze past Lisa. Ian White v Mervyn King is an old school classic.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025

- Hate the idea. Darts is loud and exciting without this gimmick format. Golf needs it because it's otherwise boring. Sorry but same applies for royale rumble style knock out.BandB19-11-2025
