Devastator

James Wade 10-5 Brendan Dolan
Phil Taylor 10-4 Wes Newton
Michael van Gerwen 10-9 Raymond van Barneveld
Gary Anderson 10-7 Andy Hamilton

Well all the favorites through but very close from MVG. Barney a lot better today than last week, it looks like he can't play for 2/3 days in a row without fading drastically.

wade beats taylor 11-9 in first semi, really has turned a corner in his career it seems,upped his game , crowd booing taylor and he tries to use it to delay wade in final leg.. such a bad looser that man

Gotya

What a come back from wadey. 5-0 down. 9-2 down. King moaning about wade after, must hunt losing after that lead still no need for it.

sc86

king is some clown
great standard again like last weeknd

What a comeback from Wade! King looked exhausted at about 9-4 but I never thought Wade would have caught him nevermind beat him.
Delighted to see Wade winning his 1st major in 3 years, that should see him safely back into premier league next season.

Wasn't sure about King's reaction to Wade at the end. I think Wade was celebrating winning the tournament not over doing hitting a double. Its not like he done anything throughout the rest of the game. Bit of bad loser from King but I think he was more angry at himself than Wade.


Loved Wade's antics playing Taylor at his own game beat it up the powaaaa lol

Delighted for Wade after all he has been through (and what a georgeous girlfriend he has) but what a choker that King is and really left himself down with his antics after. Why he was giving out to Wade celabrating his victory i dont know i am gone totally off that guy now.

I woulda been in the king supporters camp and disliked wade..but the last few tournaments has seen a different wade..not just his darts...his demenour ..


Massive credit to him.. king has gone down in my estimation.. but his darts have also improved this season.

Pleased for Wade, he played from great darts and keep his head against Phil and one he started to claw back one or two legs against King then it always looked like it would win.

I don't know what Taylor's problem is....no point acknowledging the crowd and getting involved. I think he saw the writing on the wall and decided to get his excuse in. Wade did the right thing and kept his head down.

Surely Wade is a cert now for the PL probably at the expense of Thornton.

I really wish one player who beats him whips off the board for him to sign after and hands it to someone in the crowd...just once

Manley did it after he whipped him in the PL in 2008 I think it was.

I think when King went "Really? Really?" after Wade threw the winning double, he was saying like "You've really won that?"

I don't think it was too bad, he was just devastated and in shock.

He was quite gracious when he spoke to Matt Clark, even if his behaviour was a little off

King looked a bit silly at the end, he had plenty of match doubles and blew it and I think the 'really...really' was more aimed at himself. Saying he was going to 'plot his death' was a bit ill-advised though!

I know Wade didn't want to rub it after seeing King blow the lead but he played a great tournament and a great comeback so if it had been me I'd be over the moon.

I think he just has a different sense of humor. It seemed to me he was just saying that about Wade because he's won multiple majors compared to King winning none, whenever they were announcing the winners you could quite clearly see King turn to Wade as if to say "you've won 8 and not let me win that for my 1st" before pretending to headlock him.

I used to dislike King especially when he used to make quite a big deal out of the crowd but he's got his earplugs now and he just gets on with the game rather than stopping or letting things get to him. He would be a solid player if he got himself back into the PL, he done well before.

Does anyone know if this was a ranked tournament?
