Time for the Semi-Finals in Blackpool! The World Numbers 1, 2 and 3 will stand on stage - and one unseeded player.
The second quarterfinal evening Rob Cross probably will remember as a pitch-black day - he couldn't keep up his so far great performances at all and the match was mostly shaped
by his problems to hit a double. At one time his hitting rate was 7 percent. It improved till the end of the match to 21 percent but the deserved
16:7 winner of the match in the end was Michael Smith. Smith will play in the semi-finals against
Michael von Gerwen who won 16:10 against Andrew Gilding who even had been in the lead early in the match but probably had some
problems with the long format of the match.
By now Summer arrived here in Blackpool and the good weather is supposed to stay till the weekend. Not only the seagulls are delighted.
The winners of the first two quarterfinals were James Wade uand Luke Humphries. James Wade defeated with a highclass and throughout consistent performance Ross Smith with 16:10 - Ross
just didn't find a way to cope with it. Luke Humphries defeated Dimitri van den Bergh with the same results but he struggled first a lot with himself and the Belgian again and again came close. Only in the
last legs Humphries found into his stride and drew away.
Today is the first quarterfinals day in Blackpool.
The last four matches of the second round started with an astonishing clear 11:5 win of Andrew Gilding over Krzysztof Ratajski. It followed the
outstanding match of the night between Rob Cross and Ryan Searle which was won almost as clear with 11:6 and an average of 106.99 by Cross. Michael van Gerwen won his match
against Joe Cullen 11:8. The match started quite one-sided and Cullen improved too late to turn the match around. In the last second round match Michael Smith and Chris Dobey met.
It started rather one-sided but got very close before Smith came with 11:9 over the finishing line.
The first day of the second round ended Nathan Aspinalls attempt to defend his title despite his arm injury, he lost 8:11 to James Wade.

couldn't get anything straight - he lost 2:10 against Krzysztof Ratajski. Seed Peter Wright was not really at ease either and was eliminated by Andrew Gilding.
The third seeded player who lost his match was Danny Noppert who in the afternoon-session couldn't cope with James Wade. Highlights of the day were Dimitri van den Bergh's nine-darter, Bunting's win in the
Tie Break against Ryan Joyce and a fantastic match between Rob Cross and Gian van Veen which Cross won in a Sudden Death Leg.
On the first night of the World Matchplay all seeds won the matches with good performances and progressed into the
second round. The outstanding performance came from Luke Humphries who defeated with an average of over 108 an as well
