Phil Taylor has yet to catch light in World Seniors tournaments and despite an 8-4 win over Deta Hedman, it was an under par effort from ‘The Power’ who failed to find his spark with just a 75 average.
Going forward in the World Seniors Darts Matchplay, he will now play John Part or Peter Manley but Taylor says he’s trying to navigate a myriad of factors and get his game back.
“It was very very hard, I can’t try any harder. Deta is someone everyone thinks the world of. She is a difficult player to beat, she is very steady,” said Taylor.
“I tried too hard, that’s the trouble. I’m trying to impress; you’re trying to entertain these people as they’ve paid good money to see you. They’re like Phil play like you did in the 90’s but I can’t. It’s so difficult but I’ve got to try, my grandson Matthew is with me every day and we’re trying to figure out how to put this right.”
“I think I need my eyes done. I need a new hip. My teeth are falling out. My hair's going grey,” to which Bobby George replied “And you want another arm, don't you?”
“I’d love to get back playing like I can because if Kevin (Painter) or that lad from Ireland, Colin (McGarry) plays their natural game, you’re up against it. We’re still around trebles but because you’re not in it you start pushing them. You start sweating.”
As he joked, Taylor said it’s not to do with money and is more pride than anything.
“I’m alright for money but half of these are skint, he isn’t (looking at Bobby George),” he joked.

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
