INTO THE SEMI'S! Michael van Gerwen beats James Wade 6-3 to book his place in the Semi-Finals of the International Darts Open. 102 average and he looks like he means business!

Michael van Gerwen has returned to form with a stunning display to see off James Wade to reach the semi-finals at the International Darts Open.
Van Gerwen had gone 12 consecutive games without a ton plus average and rode his luck at times during the past two European Tour events but smashed in a 102 average with 66% on the doubles.
This 66% on the doubles included two ton plus checkouts including a 144 and despite a 99 average and 50% on the doubles from 'The Machine', he couldn't dispel the charge of the World Number One.
One player who will hope he can stop this charge is Mensur Suljovic who faces him for the second week running. Mighty Mike won with ease last time out to reach the final and so 'The Gentle' will hope for revenge.
This after coming through a tough tie against Krzysztof Ratajski. He survived five missed match darts from Ratajski who hit a 102.2 average and won through in a decider 6-5 with a 99.6 average and 6/9 on the doubles.

- 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

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
