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.

- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
