Nathan Aspinall is into the last 16 at the 2024 Swiss Darts Trophy. 'The Asp' defeated number one seed Dave Chisnall on Saturday 6-3, and will now face off against Daryl Gurney in Basel this Sunday afternoon.
Aspinall, who only recently returned after a two-month enforced absence due to an arm injury, impressed against Chisnall, finishing with an average of 100.89. "I think it helped playing Dave to be fair. Some say it's hard to play your friends, but in my situation, having been away for so long, it makes you feel more relaxed," Aspinall assesses afterwards in his post-match interview on stage. "But honestly, I'm getting better and better every game I play."
Nathan Aspinall in action
Because of his long absence, Aspinall has some work ahead of him to qualify for some of the upcoming majors this Autumn and Winter. "Everyone knows I'm chasing qualification for certain events, and although I'm trying not to pay attention to it, but I know I need a good few weeks," Aspinall admits.
Aspinall will take on Daryl Gurney in the next round. "It's going to be another tough game, but Daryl is a good mate of mine so I think I'll feel quite relaxed," Aspinall previews.
