Well Hawkins got it done in the end but both players played appalling at times. Standard really was poor overall from the pair of them, with a few comically bad shots from Robertson particularly, interspersed with some superb long pots, but it couldn't make up for his overall level of inconsistency. Hawkins though wasn't much better, his potting left a lot to be desired, he'll need a big improvement if he's to go any further in this competition.
tbh it's that time of year where players either have time off or they get back down to it fast. A break of a week or more and you see it straight away in their play. You can see that Brecel isn't practising much at all. He says he does half an hour here and there. I mean, that's ridiculous. It makes me wonder if he'll just spiral down now that he's won the big one.

I think I'll take the -1.5 handicap and so basically saying he'll win without a deciding frame. Ofcourse, at some point, Robertson will turn up and start performing again. He is too talented not too, assuming he still has some sort of motivation. However, as @Torque said, Hawkins would have a chance even without that.

Brecel was horrific against Lisowski. Ding gets the 147 but still looks like losing. Ronnie looks like he's in the mood this week, then. 2 centuries
I fancy Williams tonight. I'm looking for a decent Williams to win and hit 1+ century bet. I may even be tempted with 2+

Good luck guys

This gets underway on Sunday. I'll take one from the top half and one from the bottom half.
Mark Allen looks far too big a price and is a standard bet, for me. The bottom half is harder to call. I can't decide the winner of Murphy v Anda or Ronnie v Ding. I'll go with Brecel to re-ignite some form on the TV cameras.
When you think about it, the World Champion at 18/1 here is quite silly, even without any top form since.

Gary Anderson?
hasn't won anything. Other than some European Tour floor tournaments.
I suppose Wright at least won the European Championships. In reality, Dobey should be in for Cross.
-
I'm interested to see how he does. It could go spectacularly wrong
Id have Dobey ahead of Wright. Other than that it's fair enough.

I have wondered the same thing... how do you even compete with this kind of performance?
Humphries deserved the title... he crowned a really dominant season. I feel his masterful checkouts was the deciding factor, even with the very high average.
yeah, he got better and better each round and showed his class.
Oh, imagine Littler in the Premier League!?!? Yes!

Can't wait to see this kid on the tour. He will be the new Taylor you'd imagine. How does he NOT dominate darts in the coming years?

The price for a 170 was rubbish tonight, I thought. Also, the 9-darter was a rubbish price imo because I can't see it happening. I was tempted by both players hitting 170 though. Humphries has hit it often and did it in the last round and I've noticed that Littler leaves it a lot.

Here's what I'll be going with tonight. Have a few bets on the outright so purely for tonight:
2pts Humphries to win and throw 20+ 180s 5/2 Paddypower
2pts Both to hit 17+ 180s and 3+ 100+ checkouts each 5/1 Skybet
-----------------------------------------
1.5pts Humphries to hit 2+ 180s in each set 10/1 Paddypower
1.5pts Humphries to win 7-5 or 7-6 and over 40 180s in the match 12/1 WillHill
------------------------------------------
0.5pts Littler 8+ D10 checkouts 16/1 Skybet
0.5pts Each player 20+ 180s and 5+ 100+ checkout each 25/1 Paddypower

17 through to the next GW (Tue/Wed/Thur 30th/31st/1st)

106 average. I mean seriously.
-
Once he gets ahead there is no nerves at all but I think with Humphries scoring that it will be a different final but hey, i thought he'd lose this one too so fair play. Well deserved winner. Cross never played badly by any means just beaten by a better player on the day.
Humphries Littler would be a great final and youd have to say that Littler looks a better doubler than Humphries right now

lol 5-2 up. One set from the final and he takes on 132 with BULL BULL D16. Mental. I've got this one completely wrong. Once again a player has kinda thrown away a good chance to take a lead against him and then just fell away but fair play to the lad, he is a ridiculous talent. What a final it could be.

I actually think cross will win with a few spare once he takes hold of the match

It's always a close match between Allen and Higgins but Allen has won the last 2 and I think he is playing the better stuff. I know that he has been practising and has had a solid 2 weeks. Higgins hasn't really been playing that great. Just one 50 break in his last win (over Wells) and whilst he made the Semi-Finals of the Scottish Open, who did he really beat of any statue?
With that being said, I'll also throw a point at the boosted 12/1 from PP on all 4 players today hitting a century. The competitiveness of Allen and Higgins may bring both hitting a century and the likes of Selby and Milkins are good breakbuilders.
5pts Allen to beat Higgins 4/5 Bet365
1pt All four to hit a century 12/1 Paddypower
