Mervyn King is into the semi-finals of The Masters continuing his brilliant form as of late with a 10-3 demolition win over Nathan Aspinall in Milton Keynes.
King had a dart for a 10-0 win in the end and was averaging between 109-111 at the peak of his powers during the tie before coming through a potential late comeback from Aspinall who began to find his range when he was on the verge of defeat.
But it was 'The King' who reigned supreme with a 101.7 average and five 180's and now it will be Adrian Lewis or Gerwyn Price who face off next.
King came out the blocks with a relentless start finding double eight to go 4-0 up with a break and sending his average up to 111.
At the interval, he took out 94 to make it 5-0 with Aspinall having no answer to the prowess of 'The King'.
This continued when they returned from the break as he broke once more to make it 8-0. Aspinall hadn't done much wrong missing five darts at doubles but not a lot else and he soon went to the brink as King made it 9-0 to go one away from a whitewash.
It wasn't to be yet for King yet as he missed a dart at tops for the whitewash and Aspinall found double eight to sit at 9-1 and mean another session was set.
Aspinall started the better of the two when they returned going seven darts into a nine-darter before then concluding the leg to get another back and a break at that.
It was three consecutive legs for Aspinall as he rallied back from 9-3 down but he missed the opportunity to prolong the tie further and King returned for double 20 for the win.

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024

- He used this kind of anger as motivation to get past this round. Next round he will revert to his usual form. 90 or below ave and a defeat.medinabello23-12-2024
- Once again Madhouse bottles it just like last year v Graf. Not sure why he's been brilliant all year. Definite similarities between this year and last though. He has to sort it out.medinabello23-12-2024
