WADE IS INTO THE FINAL! A truly vintage James Wade performance as he books his place in his third Grand Slam of Darts final after clinching a deciding leg victory over Dimitri Van den Bergh! #BoyleSportsGSOD
James Wade is through to his third Grand Slam of Darts final after defeating Dimitri Van den Bergh in a dramatic semi-final.
Wade survived one missed match dart en route and said afterwards that he was ‘buzzing’ and that it was a feeling he hasn’t experienced in sometime.
"I'm unbelievably happy," said Wade. "I'm buzzing - I used to feel like this many years ago and I haven't felt like this for a long time.
"It hasn't happened for me at times but at the moment I'm pushing forward, and I really am happy to win. It means a lot to me.
"I was so poor to start off and I missed quite a lot of finishes. I probably should have lost that game, Dimitri was the better player, he didn't buckle or back down, but I did enough to win.
"I was beaten and then I wasn't beaten. I was making it hard for myself when it shouldn't have been that hard - I thought I out-played him for the first ten legs.
"I thought I'd blown it when I got back to 14-all and had a poor leg, but in that last leg I was so determined. Now that I'm in the final, I'm going to relax and enjoy myself."

- 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
