Last night was perhaps the night of the tournament so far. We started off with Justin Pipe showing why he’s in the PDC’s top ten, then it was a match that had nearly everything, with James Wade beating Simon Whitlock in one of the game’s continuing rivalries. Then we had a Phil Taylor masterclass. Oh, and then Michael van Gerwen was knocked out by the in-form Dave Chisnall. So, the favourites tumbling last night, finally.

Tonight, it’s the semi-finals, and we have one you could have predicted, and one that few people would have seen coming. If you had Adrian Lewis Vs Michael van Gerwen, or Andy Hamilton Vs MVG in your predictor contest, I don’t blame you. But we have Dave Chisnall taking on Justin Pipe, both men deserved finalists. And we get a resumption of one of the oldest rivalries left going in the PDC, Phil Taylor and James Wade.

Another somewhat predictable night of darts, with Justin Pipe’s victory over Adrian Lewis the only real shock of the night. However, if you got on Pipe at around 5/2, you were laughing. There were also wins for Dave Chisnall, Michael van Gerwen and Andy Hamilton. All four men were comfortable winners, with Pipe and Van Gerwen winning 3-0, while Chisnall and Hamilton eased through 3-1.

Quarter-finals tonight, and the lowest ranked player still in contention is Gary Anderson. We have 6 of the world’s tpo 8 left in the running, and Justin Pipe is ranked 9th, so, all-in-all, it’s another PDC major that has gone msotly the way of the seeds. There now looks like there’s a gap building between the top 8 or 10 players and the rest of the PDC field.

I was surprised last night, not by the winners, but how most of the losers put up a fight. Connie Finnan will be ruing his missed opportunity to knock out James Wade; he had The Machine on the ropes and couldn’t knock him out. And Wes Newton showed a fighting spirit he’s not shown for a while. Ronnie Baxter put up a fight against Simon Whitlock, even if the scoreline doesn’t reflect that, and Paul Nicholson had his chances against Phil Taylor. So while the favourites all got through, it wasn’t plain sailing, and it made for an entertaining night of darts.

The second round finishes tonight, and we’re got four short-priced favourites in Adrian Lewis, Dave Chisnall, Andy Hamilton and Michael van Gerwen. In a tournament that’s mostly went the way of the favourites, will all four deliver?
