After winning his third PDC Nordic & Baltic Tour title of the year last weekend, Marko Kantele is well on his way to securing a spot at the World Darts Championship.
The experienced Finnish player blew Jeffrey de Graaf away in the final of event six. Kantele secured a 6-1 victory to claim his third title in six events. In his four previous appearances at the Alexandra Palace, the 54-year-old is to taste victory.
Kantele suffered a 3-1 defeat in the first round of the 2009 PDC World Darts Championship to Ronnie Baxter. Nine years later he was back but a whitewash defeat to John Henderson made sure it wasn't a happy return. William O'Connor proved to have too much for him in 2020, winning 3-0 before in his most recent appearance at the Ally Pally, John Henderson was again Kantele's first-round opponent with the Fin losing 3-2.

- 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
