Peter Wright is successfully into the Quarter-Finals at the Players Championship Finals but survived a real scare against Callan Rydz who continues to impress.
Wright to start the tie headed into the lead at 6-4 up with Rydz missing four darts to level and the former restored a two leg advantage. But Rydz had his chance as he made it 6-6 as Wright made it 6/24 on the doubles.
Wright moved away though with a 12-darter in the form of a 91 checkout making it 9-7. Rydz broke back with a 161 checkout to keep himself involved and made it into a decider.
But despite Wright missing his first handful of darts, Rydz was too far back to potentially trouble and Wright got through.
While Mervyn King over on Stage Two saw off Karel Sedlacek with a commanding 10-5 victory with a 94.4 average, four 180's and a high checkout of 124 as he ended the run of 'Evil Charlie'.

- 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
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
