Krzysztof Ratajski won through to his maiden PDC major semi-final in convincing fashion as he eased past Callan Rydz at the World Matchplay.
This sets up a clash with Dimitri van den Bergh in the semi-finals as he looks for the next step - a maiden PDC major final.
He spoke afterwards and called the semi-final the 'biggest match' of his career so far and that he felt his experience gave him the edge against Rydz.
"I'm really happy and I feel great," said Ratajski. "It's really something big for me.
"My experience was very important - every match on this stage is big and I expected a hard match but Callan was not in his best form.
"I felt comfortable on stage and my average was quite good, especially with so many misses at doubles.
"Every player dreams of winning this trophy so I hope I can play the semi-finals with less mistakes and do better on my doubles. It will be the biggest match of my career."

- 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
