Into the quarter finals

Thursday, 1 January

Afternoon session (12:30)

Ryan Searle (20) v Jonny Clayton (5)
Gary Anderson (14) v Justin Hood

Evening session (19:00)

Luke Littler (1) v Krzysztof Ratajski
Luke Humphries (2) v Gian van Veen (10)

[kippaxvilla2]

Searle has beaten Clayton.

[German James]

And Anderson seemed to find at least three extra gears to see off Justin Hood!

[Nev]

Searle is ace and Anderson is playing out of his skin. I don't really mind who wins but I don't want a final between the 2 Lukes, desperately dull despite the high quality of their play.

[manic-road]

Littler throwing great darts tonight, 4-0 up in no time.

[kippaxvilla2]

Luke H is in trouble at the moment 1-3 down.

[German James]

but I don't want a final between the 2 Lukes, desperately dull despite the high quality of their play.

Not going to happen now! Well played GVV!

[kippaxvilla2]

And he’s out 5-1!

[Nev]

I was going to have a punt on Van Veen after his second round win, too late now.

I'd like him to win, then Searle, then Anderson but I just can't see Littler losing. Still, at least there is interest to the end.

[PeterWithesShin]

Searle
GVV
Littler
Anderson

Is my order of preference.

[German James]

My preference:

Searle
Anderson
GVV
Littler

It won't be that though! I think it will be:

Littler
Anderson
Searle
GVV

[PeterWithesShin]

All 4 have the game to win it which makes it more interesting. GVV would have been my pre-tournament 'outsider' as he's been excellent this year. As long as he gets past the 3rd round he can beat anyone. Especially impressive given his previous dartitis issues.
