Smith produces 105 average in quality display to defeat Ratajski and open up Masters campaign

Michael Smith is through to the Quarter-Finals of the 2022 Masters after seeing off Krzysztof Ratajski in a quality display to open up his campaign in Milton Keynes.
Smith averaged 105.5 in a 10-6 win over 'The Polish Eagle' in his first game since his World Championship final defeat and hit eight 180's and a high checkout of 164 en route.
'Bully Boy' started off superbly taking out 107 to move 4-1 up on Ratajski at the first interval. But Ratajski came straight back to make it 4-4 albeit Smith regained control at the next interval making it 6-4.
A turning point followed as Smith produced an epic 164 checkout to go 8-4 up. He went seven darts into a perfect leg but lost the leg as Ratajski made it 9-5 and he followed up with a 104 checkout.
But that proved a mere consolation as Smith concluded the tie to move through.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
