"The biggest win of my career." That is how former WDF World Championship finalist Jim Williams described his shock victory over eighth seed James Wade, sealing a round 3 matchup against Gabriel Clemens at the PDC World Darts Championship.
Despite losing the first set, Williams never looked flustered and kept putting the pressure on Wade throughout the game. "I just need to try and focus all the time if I can," Williams said. Having gone out in the second round to Joe Cullen twelve months ago, the Welshman is delighted to come through the tough test this time around.
"Joe flicked the switch and he was a lot better than I was, James kind of stayed at the same level today so I just needed to up my game a little bit." Williams reflects. "It was a tough game, I think it was tough for James as well. I was surprised by his scoring and I tried too hard to try and get on top of him at times."
After Christmas, Williams will return for a third-round match against the German Giant, Gabriel Clemens who dispatched Beau Greaves' conqueror, William O'Connor. "Apparently I've only played him once but I won that one so yeah," Williams laughs.

- 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
