"I put it all down to that Premier League experience" - Chris Dobey continues to blossom in the biggest stages with Luke Littler next up at World Series of Darts Finals
PDC
Chris Dobey is into the last eight of the World Series of Darts Finals for the first time in his career. 'Hollywood' did not have it all his own way with Boris Krcmar in the second round, but did win 6-4 and now gets to take on the tournaments number one seed, Luke Littler.
Dobey and Krcmar presented the AFAS Live audience with a great match in which both men averaged well over 100. They gave each other very little and for a moment it looked like an eleventh and final leg would decide the match. In the end it was Dobey who won 6-4. However, he realized he had come away well.

"Full credit to Boris there. He played fantastic and hit me with some crucial finishing at the wrong time," Dobey said afterwards in conversation with Online Darts. "I just had to dig in there and stick with him. I'm glad my finishing pulled us out. Boris is so underestimated and underrated. I respect him a lot and he put up a great fight there, regardless of the score line."
Having always been solid on the Pro Tour, over the last couple of years, Dobey has been getting better and better on the big stages. "I think I put it all down to that Premier League experience. Playing in massive arenas, on the big stage, week in and week out. I think that's brought my game on."
Dobey will now take on Luke Littler in the quarterfinals. "It'll be nice to to play Luke as well, being in the same stable," Dobey previwes. "Plus, he beat me the other week, so I'll be up for that even more!"
The winner of the match between Dobey and Littler will take on the winner of the clash between Michael van Gerwen and Luke Humphries in the semifinals on Sunday night.

- We don't need the Saudi's money and prohibitive laws. Simply take the World's to other countries like Germany, Holland, Scotland, Poland, Belgium. Not only will you get sell out crowds with bigger venues but it will also freshen up the comp a bit. Let's face it Ally Pally is getting a bit boring now. Imagine 10,000 in Berlin, Rotterdam, Brussels etc.medinabello15-12-2024
- Am probably going to be in a small minority, i would not miss the walk ons, best part used to be the lovely ladies which obviously now makes me a misogynist. Its all part of the razzamatazz show business side and its not that long so not something that winds me up however some of the walk on choices are abysmal while some work, MVG and Seven Nation Army being an example. Dimi the Dancer is / was just awful and Peter Wrights is old hat now.Mysstree14-12-2024
- It’s filling the Sky schedule and generating the revenue. Tournament goes on to long could easily shave a couple of days off with more matches each day. I agree that perhaps all first round matches should be played first.Mysstree12-12-2024
- Wright deserved to be selected for the premier league last year. He was the only player besides Humphries to win a major (European Championships) in the back half of the year. And he was still ranked in the top 8. Plus he's a draw for fans, let's face it that's a big factor.Matilda6212-12-2024
