Think I’m going with the centuries in the Ronnie match. End of the day we’ll either get the Ronnie who smashes it and hits multiple centuries or the one that just hits it about and then Page may chip in.

Definitely a record year for the qualifiers this year, Pang should have won too but Si produced a wonder break to beat Willo. Dave Gilbert must have a great chance to reach the 1/4's again and maybe even further.

Jiahui hit 1 century against Mertens (and a 98). He then hit 2 centuries in his final Q match. Williams hit 2 centuries in his final win over Ronnie and 3 in the semi-final win over Allen. I can't see Williams hitting less than 2 and I think both hitting 2 is a good shout.

last 3 years Lisowski has reached Last 16, QF, Last 16 at the Worlds. Ding has gone out at the 1st round for the last 3 years running. Interesting match but I think the value is with Jack

very weak performances from Carter and Anda over the last few days. Brecel was a weird one. It looks to be an open tournament this year, so far.

missed about 20 darts to go 7-7 there. so crap

Wish I bet on Anderson now but atleast that’s a 20/1 winner for making the final 

I’ve just done a post slating Ross Smith and he has the big balls to make final. Fair play

Yeah, I watched it... Clayton hit some amazing checkouts, and still, Dobey should have won it at 5-5, 4 match darts missed there...

how on earth does Clayton beat Dobey there? 4 match darts missed and 4 100+ checkouts from Clayton. Ugh!

some players just do not perform on this stage. Even the big boys. Anda was lucky to get 2 there and should have a better session tomorrow. I still give him a decent chance of coming back from that because Jak Jones is also obviously nervous. 
I had a free bet with WH and took Anda at 5-2. As you say, I think Anda is a better player ultimately.

Seems like a age for this to come round again. I've had a few bets over the last year using free bets etc. Williams, Anda, G Wilson and Brecel. Also had Robertson but that didn't work out🤮
Good luck all

I am taking a 4-fold for tomorrow.

the draw has been made then. Initially I think Allen and Williams are my picks. Carter and Gary Wilson would be the outsider picks for me but at 200/1 i'm also going to take a very small bet on Jackson Page. He plays like Brecel did last year. All-out attack. He'll either lose easily or just go on a great run.

Looking forward to tomorrow, the draw seems pretty good with an easier top half. Glad that Williams avoided Page ditto Higgins / Maguire. I can't remember how many qualifiers won their L32 match last year but it wouldn't surprise me if 5 or 6 managed it this year as they have the advantage of being match-sharp from the off. Spare a thought for Dave Gilbert who was saying to Rob Walker that he didn't want another 10am Sat or Sun match this year as it's the worst timeslot but has been handed just that!

took a cheeky 33/1 on Schindler after his round 1 performance last week and I've just done the same with Edhouse (125/1) while it lasts. Good cover against Ross Smith
