"THE ASP SINKS TO HIS KNEES! HE WINS THE BIGGEST TITLE OF HIS CAREER!" 🏆🎯 Nathan Aspinall is the 2023 World Matchplay champion 👑
"I think we'd make a fantastic pairing" - Aspinall targeting World Cup debut alongside Michael Smith after Matchplay success

Nathan Aspinall has advanced to a career high of fifth in the world rankings thanks to his victory at the World Matchplay.
Aspinall is now, after Michael Smith, the second Englishman in the world rankings. The two highest-ranked players from each country are traditionally invited to the World Cup of Darts, a tournament 'the Asp' is yet to play in during his career.
"I so want to play for England. That's a massive thing," Aspinall said. "I know Michael wants to play with me and I want to play with Smithy. I think we'd make a fantastic pairing. That's definitely a target."
Aspinall therefore knows what he has to do. "I wanted to be in the top 8 by the end of the year. I've done that now so realistically the target has to be top 4. There's no reason why this can be my last tournament win of the year, if anything it should be the first of many!"

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
