    Really tough draw for Willie O Connor. Not too easy for Steve Lennon either.

    Couple of decent games. If Adrian Lewis turns up him and Whitlock will be interesting.

    Mensur Suljovic has withdrawn from this due to family bereavement. Darren Webster takes his place. Forgot all about Webster, was doing great last few years but absolutely nothing this year.

    I like Searle, decent player and capable of beating anyone on his day. Does get a little flaky when under pressure though

    It's remarkable how well he's doing considering his eyesight is supposed to be really bad

    He also throws 32g bombs, no idea how he manages to hit so many trebles.

    Gurney beaten first round and is now outside the top ten as he won this even 2 years ago and was defending a lot of money.

    Adrian Lewis just beaten first round too, won't help stop his slide down the rankings either.

    Unreal standard
    Looks like if you are not throwing 100 ave and hitting 45% doubles you're out
    poor aul Boris krcamr averaged 107 and hit 40% doubles and still got beat by Michael Smith

    Looks like Gurney was the worst performer of the afternoon . seems to have completely lost his form

    I like what I’m seeing with Smith, he’s starting to develop some tenacity and bottle.

    He did extremely well to hang with and then dispatch JdS

    Yes, did the same agains Anderson earlier
    But...the big question still remains,..can he keep his bottle when the pressure is really on at the business end of the tournament

    Indeed, but previously he would have probably lost those 2 games.

    JdS was on a 110 average after about 10 legs and Smith battled away. If he keeps playing like that, he’ll win it

    In fairness to Smithy he consistently gets to the last 8 (Grand Slam and now this). And whilst he usually finds someone to beat him at the business end, quarters-finals is enough in most rational peoples minds to justify his ranking as a T8/T10 player.
    It'd be great to see him going the extra step though.

    Interesting game between Rydz and Peter Wright so far, certainly no walkover for Wright. Rydz could do with a proper head shave, that combover does him no favours.

    Played good. The ole Amazon delivery job must be suiting him

    Not as good as snakebite though, that was some performance. Has to go deep again in the world's the way he's playing
