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.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
