"I'm in a really good position to play my A-game!" - Confident Krzysztof Ratajski looking to build on victory over Jamie Hughes at the Ally Pally

Coming from a set down, the Polish number one Krzysztof Ratajski secured his place in round 3 at the 2024 PDC World Darts Championships with a hard-fought 3-1 win over Jamie Hughes on Friday afternoon.
"I lost the first set, it was very close. The second set was also very close, Jamie had two darts to make it 2-0," Ratajski recalls in his post-match press conference. "I was lucky, he missed and I was able to take the second set. So, I'm very happy for this win."

A former quarter-finalist at the Ally Pally back in 2021, Ratajski needed all of his experience to bounce back from his sluggish start and book his spot in the third round. "Maybe it was the key moment when he missed," he admits.
"I feel I'm playing some of my best darts. Not in this match, that wasn't my A-game but I won so I'm happy with this," he continues. "I think now I'm in a really good position to play my A-game!"
In the next round, either Jonny Clayton or Steve Lennon awaits Ratajski. "We don't know who it will be yet, but I'm ready for both so I'll just wait."

- Even the wild crowd went easy on him... we really have gone soft in this country. He should now play in the men's events and try and recover a smidgen of respect, rather than take advantage of the women's game.MrYnyslas197118-12-2024

- 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
