CHISNALL WINS! A straight sets victory for Dave Chisnall as he averaged 102.85... Glen Durrant, an outside favourite for this tournament, just never got going #WGP2020

Dave Chisnall produced the best match of the first round at the World Grand Prix to beat Glen Durrant in straight sets in Coventry.
Chizzy averaged 102.85 as he just missed out on Alan Warriner's highest average record at the World Grand Prix. If Chisnall had thrown out 64 in the last leg, he would have beaten the record. But he missed his chance on double 20, before hitting double 5 with his fourth match-dart.
The Morecambe ace hit a stunning 70% on his opening doubles, while he threw three 180's and 6/16 on his finishing doubles. Durrant missed eight of his 15 starting doubles, while he only produced one 140-score.
Joe Cullen knocked out former tournament winner Daryl Gurney as The Rockstar claimed victory after a leg-decider in the third set. Cullen will take on Jonny Clayton in the second round.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
- Covid or Vaccine victim?Mysstree03-11-2024
- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
