Whitlock looks to avoid missing first World Matchplay since joining PDC: "I'm confident that I can still reach Blackpool"
PDCMonday, 05 July 2021 at 11:00
Simon Whitlock since moving to the PDC back in 2009 has been an ever present at the World Matchplay but like a host of big names, that streak could end this year.
Heading into Super Series 5 which starts on Monday, he is not in the top 16 in the Order of Merit or the ProTour Order of Merit meaning he is currently missing out.
Hope remains though for 'The Wizard' that he can use this week's cut off to turn it around and see the fans pack out the Winter Gardens again.
“Of course its disappointing to see I haven’t yet qualified for the Matchplay. It’s a brilliant event that I love playing in, especially with fans coming back. I’ve missed the support of the crowds & the Matchplay always has amazing support from the fans," he said to Winmau Darts.
“I’m confident that I can still reach Blackpool this year. I’m playing well with my new darts and if I can translate my practise form into this week’s Super Series I think I’ve got a good chance.”

- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024
- He has Guillerme Barre Syndrome. Nerve damage due to autoimmune response. Could take him months to recover if at all.medinabello23-12-2024
- I have a nickname for him Ni I man.medinabello23-12-2024
- C'MON HEMPS!!medinabello23-12-2024
- 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
- F the bettors. Mugs they are. Anyone could tell this is a 50 50 game or Hempel slight favourite going on form.medinabello23-12-2024
- Hard to play slow players. Does your head in.medinabello23-12-2024
- What do you mean again?medinabello23-12-2024
- Get his wife to work so that he can retire. Do the seniors tour, Modus, exbos. He'll still be doing alright.medinabello23-12-2024
- He used this kind of anger as motivation to get past this round. Next round he will revert to his usual form. 90 or below ave and a defeat.medinabello23-12-2024
