PDC World Matchplay - Day 5
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.

PDC World Matchplay - Day 2
The second day of the World Matchplay was a little bit pressed for time which one could feel in the last match of the night. Seed Dave Chisnall looked rather nervous und
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.
Tonight the last four first round matches will be played - among them the highly anticipated game between Michael van Gerwen and Luke Littler.
