26-7-17 darts match play

In the last 16 of the match play Scotsman Peter Wright did what was expected of him after beating Spaniard Christo Reyes 11-4 and he has to be considered a serious contender but Reyes was not a real threat and that could harm him moving forward. Wright is a threat for the whole competition.

In the second match you had without a doubt the match of the tournament so far when Scotsman Gary Anderson lost 11-9 to Northern Irishman Daryl Gurney this match was never in one player’s hands and except at the early stages there was not too much between the pair. This match makes me think Gurney can go up the rankings.

In the third tie an all English one we got the chance to see that Darren Webster had control and that he looks like an outside bet for the crown. Steve West was never in this tie as he lost by 11 legs to 7.

Austrian Suljovic showed that the best darts are not always played in Britain with this simple enough win over Englishman Justin Pipe this was a match that the Austrian seemed to have complete control over from the start and definitely has to be looked at as a threat.
