Peter Wright has completed the Quarter-Final line-up at the 2021 World Matchplay where he will face off against Michael Smith after a superb display to see off Joe Cullen 11-5.
Wright sent a message to the field with this display which saw 'Snakebite' average 105.5 with seven 180's and 52% on the doubles.
Before the tournament, he predicted he'd win both the World Matchplay and World Championship, can he get one step closer to that proclamation coming true?
Wright went 3-0 up but Cullen levelled up at 3-3 to keep it interesting early on after the interval.
But as 'Snakebite' stopped the rot, he got stronger and hit a 103 checkout followed by a 13 darter to go 6-3 clear.
The tie was soon slipping away from Cullen as he missed double 16 for a 68 finish and Wright punished with an 85 checkout to head into a four leg cushion 7-3 at the second break.
A third 180 and double 16 saw him edge closer to the finishing line at 8-3 up. Cullen stopped the rot with a 68 finish to make it 8-4.
But it was only a rot stopper as Wright's average went to 104 and he went one away from the Quarter-Finals before completing the feat 11-5.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
