Krzysztof Ratajski is into his maiden major PDC semi-final breaking new ground after a 16-8 victory at the 2021 World Matchplay over Callan Rydz.
It was a comprehensive display for 'The Polish Eagle' who finally gets over the Quarter-Final hurdle pinning a 97.3 average and nine 180's en route.
Ratajski to begin the tie missed the opportunity for an early break of throw and Rydz held from there but this proved a mere blip early on for 'The Polish Eagle' who claimed three consecutive legs for a 3-1 lead.
At the first break though, it sat at 3-2 with Rydz reducing the deficit to just one leg but again Ratajski went on a roll hitting a third 180 and 116 checkout to move 4-2 ahead before breaking throw and holding to make it 6-2.
At the next interval, Ratajski was 7-3 up but could have been 8-2 had it not been for missed doubles that handed Rydz a mini reprieve.
It was another dominant mini session that followed though for Ratajski who was at 8-5 only to regain full control with a 105 checkout and follow that up by making it 10-5.
He held from there and broke again to make it 12-5 but Rydz offered resistence again with a 13-darter on double 20 to make it 12-6.
But he couldn't consolidate and Ratajski pinned double eight to make it 13-6. After the next interval, Ratajski went two legs away at 14-7 up with an 11-darter in the form of an 81 checkout.
A stunning 141 checkout saw Ratajski go one away. A 180 was hit by Ratajski with Rydz waiting on 58 from a 171 which he got a chance at with 'The Riot' holding to make it 15-8.
Ratajski set up 68 for the win from 164 with Rydz leaving 148 after a poor visit. The former though missed a match dart but was back for double eight which he pinned for the victory.

- 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
