Wade whitewashes out of sorts Gurney to set up semi-final clash with Wright in Cologne
PDCSaturday, 13 July 2019 at 20:41
The first semi-final is confirmed at the German Darts Masters with James Wade set to take on Peter Wright after he demolished Daryl Gurney in a whitewash win.
He averaged 97.7 in the end with a 148 checkout to end it all off in a typical Wade performance with 66 percent on the doubles to boot.
Gurney on the other hand averaged 74.78 in a bad day at the office for 'Superchin'. This was confounded with him only having one dart at double throughout the whole game.
As usual though 'The Machine' pounced all over it with him averaging in excess of 100 until the very end as he claimed the crushing whitewash win.
He will now take on Peter Wright in the first semi-final having gained even more confidence as a result of a big win. It is also the second time this season that Gurney has been whitewashed by Wade with it also happening in the Premier League in Aberdeen earlier this year.

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
