The last first round evening in Blackpool was a rather mixed experience. Two of the matches were rather one-sided and the so far weakest matches of the tournament, one was a really highclass match
and one started completely one-sided but developed in an entertaining match with the outstanding player of the night.
The evening started with the match between Chris Dobey and Ricardo Pietreczko, in which Dobey played just acceptable and won with 10:5 against
Pietreczko who showed the so far weakest performance of the tournament. After that followed a highclass match between Gerwyn Price and Daryl Gurney which the better playing Price won with 10:7. The all Dutch match between Michael van Gerwen and Raymond van Barneveld
was another weak match in which van Gerwen prevailed with 10:6. In the last match we did see an outstanding Josh Rock with whom Ross Smith first couldn't keep up a all. But Smith
improved a lot throughout the match though he lost in the end deservedly with 5:10.

After he fell at the last hurdle in last year's final against Luke Humphries this year Luke Littler nailed down the title with a convincing 7:3 defeat of Michael van Gerwen.
Littler dominated the match from the start and stormed to a 4:0 lead before van Gerwen won his first set. Van Gerwen after that got better into the game and managed to win two more sets but all in all missed far to many doubles and was
consequentially punished by Littler. 18 days before his 18. birthday Littler crowned himself as youngest ever PDC World Champion in the history of the tournament.

Tonight the final of the World Championship will be played!
Today's Day's Specials: With Michael van Gerwen and Luke Littler a former and an actual "Wunderkind" meet in the final
What you should know as well: Both Michael van Gerwen and Luke Littler won in their time in the WDF/BDO lots of titles. Van Gerwen won as youngest player ever (17 years, 174 days) ever the World Masters and played with 18 as seeded player his first (BDO) World Championship. He lost his first match. Littler never won the World Masters, but played with 15 as seeded player his first (WDF) World Championship. He won his first match. Both van Gerwen and Littler qualified in their first year on the PDC Cicuit for the World Championship but while van Gerwen lost first round Littler reached the final. Van Gerwen reached his first final five years later in 2013.
In today's evening-session the World Championship semi-finals took play.
Both matches were rather one-sided and both matches ended with the same result. In the first semi-final Michael van Gerwen had no problems to defeat Chris Dobey - who was not able to use his chances - with 6:1.
The second semi-final was even more highclass but as one-sided as Luke Littler outclassed a good playing Stephen Bunting - Luke Littler as well won 6:1.

What you should know as well: Chris Dobey won The Masters 2023 - and was invited to the Premier League. Bunting won The Masters 2024 - and was not invited. Bunting is from the four semi-finalists the only one, who never took part in the Premier League while Littler is the only one who never won The Masters.

In the Alexandra Palace in London today the quarterfinals took place. There were no real upsets. Though the results don't really show it at least the matches of the afternoon-session were highly competitive.
The most highclass and closest match was the quarterfinal between Michael van Gerwen and Callan Rydz which van Gerwen - with a little bit of luck and probably a lot of experience - won 5:3. Chris Dobey convinced
with a consistent performance at his win over Gerwyn Price who dominated the first two sets but later somehow weakend. Stephen Bunting had almost already won a to this point quite one sided match when Peter Wright
somehow managed to win two sets of his own. Nathan Aspinall only was in phases a dangerous opponent for the today very convincing Luke Littler.

He is as well the only player still in the tournament who didn't qualify by the Order of Merit but by the Pro Tour Order of Merit which means he is outside the Top 32.

The evening started with the match between Chris Dobey and Ricardo Pietreczko, in which Dobey played just acceptable and won with 10:5 against
Pietreczko who showed the so far weakest performance of the tournament. After that followed a highclass match between Gerwyn Price and Daryl Gurney which the better playing Price won with 10:7. The all Dutch match between Michael van Gerwen and Raymond van Barneveld
was another weak match in which van Gerwen prevailed with 10:6. In the last match we did see an outstanding Josh Rock with whom Ross Smith first couldn't keep up a all. But Smith

Luke Littler wins World Championship
After he fell at the last hurdle in last year's final against Luke Humphries this year Luke Littler nailed down the title with a convincing 7:3 defeat of Michael van Gerwen.
Littler dominated the match from the start and stormed to a 4:0 lead before van Gerwen won his first set. Van Gerwen after that got better into the game and managed to win two more sets but all in all missed far to many doubles and was
consequentially punished by Littler. 18 days before his 18. birthday Littler crowned himself as youngest ever PDC World Champion in the history of the tournament.

PDC World Championship - Day 14
In the Alexandra Palace in London today the quarterfinals took place. There were no real upsets. Though the results don't really show it at least the matches of the afternoon-session were highly competitive.
The most highclass and closest match was the quarterfinal between Michael van Gerwen and Callan Rydz which van Gerwen - with a little bit of luck and probably a lot of experience - won 5:3. Chris Dobey convinced
with a consistent performance at his win over Gerwyn Price who dominated the first two sets but later somehow weakend. Stephen Bunting had almost already won a to this point quite one sided match when Peter Wright
somehow managed to win two sets of his own. Nathan Aspinall only was in phases a dangerous opponent for the today very convincing Luke Littler.
