Wright first through to German Darts Masters final with win over Wade
PDCSaturday, 13 July 2019 at 22:46
Peter Wright is on the verge of winning the German Darts Masters for the second time in the three years of the tournament being held after seeing off James Wade in the first semi-final.
Wright claimed the win 8-4 with a 96.3 average and 53 percent on the doubles as he continues his return to form which will be a welcome boost ahead of the World Matchplay.
It started off quite level between the pair but for Wright he claimed the break at the interval which helped him later on.
He was 4-2 up at the time despite not averaging to his best and he was half way from claiming the win but Wade did come back taking out a 121 on the bull to go 4-3 behind.
Wright though always kept Wade at arms length and he found double 20 to go back ahead at 5-4 and from there he broke again to make it 6-4.
He continued that with a clinical 121 checkout himself to go one away from a brilliant win and from there he claimed the victory and will face either Gabriel Clemens or Mensur Suljovic shortly.

- @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
