Default PDC World darts Championship

Starts tonight.

I fancied Gerwen Pryce to win it, but there wasn't much value for him in his odds.

I've gone for a bit of value and gone for Gary Anderson at 33/1 and Scott Waites, in his first PDC championship at 300/1

Scott Waites wins his first round match in an epic game. It went all 25 legs (3-2 every set) Both players played great, neither deserved to lose. Game of the tournament so far.

Nathan Aspinall up next for Waites, so he's gonna have to play well again to beat him.

on sunday this will resume with the first of Round 3 matches

Ratajski - Whitlock could be interesting i think

Wattimena - Van den Bergh another one which could go both way


monday a treat with portuguese sensation Jose de Sousa vs Mervyn King

Van den Bergh will stuff Wattimena.

Whitlock and Ratajski will be tough, I slightly favour Whitlock.

Mervyn looked very impressive first round and I'll tip him to beat 1 hit wonder, De Sousa.

What do I know?

Ratajski stuffed Whitlock 4 sets to nil. Whitlock couldn't hit his doubles, Ratajski was solid throughout. Accumulator down first game.

Next up Huybrechts vs Searle.

I'll tip Huybrechts to just get over the line in this one, although I did predict Searle to lose in the last round.

Defending champion, Peter "Snake bite" Wright, knocked out by German, Clemens.

Van Gerwen won his match against Ricky Evans, in style and will play Joe Cullen in the next round after he knocked out Johnny Clayton.

Peter Wright is the reigning World champion, he's the current number 2 ranked player in the World, he's been in the top 4 or 5 players for about the last 10 years.

Forgot to mention that James Wade did a 9 darter yesterday, it wasn't enough to help him win though.

Gurney had just missed the double 12 for a 9 darter.
