After reaching the final last week in Manchester, Jonny Clayton is now in pole position to take that final play-off spot with just two weeks of regular Premier League Darts nights left before finals night.
In his two previous Premier League Darts campaigns, Clayton has never failed to reach the play-off stage, a record he hopes to maintain in 2023. “Darts is a funny old game and we can all play world-class darts, so I am taking nothing for granted," says the Welshman.
“I made a really slow start [this year], but those two nightly wins made a massive difference and put me back in contention," continues the 2021 Premier League Darts Champion. “I’ve got to do my own job first, but if Nathan loses to Gerwyn tomorrow night and I win my game against Dimitri, the ball is definitely in my court."
“I made the final in Manchester last week and I played well on the European Tour at the weekend, so my confidence is up, and my darts are going well. If I play my game, I’ve got a good chance," he concludes.
