James Wade advanced to the second round of the International Darts Open on Friday night at the expense of Mike de Decker. 'The Machine' was 6-3 too strong for the Belgian.
The Englishman posted an average of 96.85, but didn't sound completely satisfied afterwards. ''It didn't feel quite that good. It was a scrap from start to finish. I felt a little bit uncomfortable, but I'm sure he did as well. It's a bonus I won.''
The interviewer noticed that Wade was limping on stage. The 11-time major-winner was asked about the cause, and came up with a remarkable answer. ''The problem was I went out this morning for a 15 mile run and i tripped over on the 10th mark, no I'm lying.... The local hotel to here, they've got a step like that in the bathroom with a plinth going through... I lost, it won and me being me, I've done it properly rather than just a little bit! I'm many things but not heroic (laughs)."
Wade will take on Ricardo Pietreczko in the second round of the International Darts Open on Saturday night. ''I'm sure he wil play well you know. If I do my thing I win, if I dont, I don't."

- 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

- 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
