Peter Wright has spent the last year aside from a few titles in the darting doldrums but he exclaimed 'I'm on the way back' as he reached the semi-finals of the German Darts Championship.
Bursting into tears after taking down Michael van Gerwen, the sense of the achievement was palpable for the former World Champion who was struggling to contain his emotions.
"Obviously you've got to play well against Michael (van Gerwen). He's had his operation but he's still playing good darts," said Wright.
The German crowd started to chant his name. Often a loved figure on the European Tour by the adoring crowds, Wright then burst into tears putting his darts towel over his eyes.
"I'm on the way back," concluded Wright as he went off the stage emotional soaking up the applause from the crowd.
He produced an epic 109 average and six 180's to dump out the Dutch dynamo who himself averaged 104 but lost out 6-4. Both have had their travails on the oche in the past few months, but Wright seemingly can see a way out and that could be a title this weekend. A superb story brewing.

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.
