"Phil's a great player, always has been, always will be" - Martin Adams not taking Taylor for granted ahead of Champion of Champions clash
WSDT
This weekend the World Seniors Champion of Champions gets underway in Blackpool. In the first round, Martin Adams faces off against Phil Taylor.
"I'm looking forward to it!" Adams recently previewed in conversation with WSDT ahead of the tournament getting underway. "It's a different outlook for me now. I've not got any responsibilities and I'm all alone so it's nice get out of that humdrum of sitting alone in the house."
Although Adams reached the final of the World Seniors Darts Championship in 2022, 'Wolfie' is yet to taste major glory on the seniors circuit. "It's up and down at the moment," he says of his current level of play. "I haven't played Phil competitively since Lockdown when we did one of the specials on live stream. I think I won, I'm not sure. Prior to that though, the last we played was in the World Matchplay many years ago."
With this being Taylor's final year playing competitive darts, this could also be the final meeting of two of darts biggest names. "The fact he's retiring is irrelevant really. Phil's a great player, always has been, always will be," Adams says respectfully. "I'm looking forward to it and I absolutely believe I can win. I want to win all the Seniors titles."

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- 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 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
