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.

- Even the wild crowd went easy on him... we really have gone soft in this country. He should now play in the men's events and try and recover a smidgen of respect, rather than take advantage of the women's game.MrYnyslas197118-12-2024

- We don't need the Saudi's money and prohibitive laws. Simply take the World's to other countries like Germany, Holland, Scotland, Poland, Belgium. Not only will you get sell out crowds with bigger venues but it will also freshen up the comp a bit. Let's face it Ally Pally is getting a bit boring now. Imagine 10,000 in Berlin, Rotterdam, Brussels etc.medinabello15-12-2024
- Am probably going to be in a small minority, i would not miss the walk ons, best part used to be the lovely ladies which obviously now makes me a misogynist. Its all part of the razzamatazz show business side and its not that long so not something that winds me up however some of the walk on choices are abysmal while some work, MVG and Seven Nation Army being an example. Dimi the Dancer is / was just awful and Peter Wrights is old hat now.Mysstree14-12-2024
