    Nearly twice as fast as the last game.

    Suljovics style will annoy the **** out of either of these

    Anderson's dislike of playing Mensur is well known.
    He makes no secret of it.

    Yes but he also seems to respect MS.

    Whoever ends up in the final there'll definitely be a contrast in throwing styles :)

    Great game. Fancy Mensur now only because it's Anderson. Would love to see Suljovic win a proper major. His form over last 3 years deserves it.

    Class act Anderson
    De Zwaan played great, hopefully he can carry that form forward

    You'd think Ando should win now, but.....it's Suljovic...

    Great win for Gary, will be a very interesting final

    If JdZ can get through at least a round of anoter couple of majors he’ll be nailed on for the Premier Leaghe

    Must be odd for him knowing he could go down and beat the two fellas playing.

    You must be prophetic!!

    I'd a feeling he couldn't stay away

    Missed doubles for Mensur will be his downfall. He's gone from calm and focussed to getting a bit animated over the misses.

    11-9 Anderson but suljovic should be ahead missing doubles in every leg

    Great match enjoyed every minute fair play to Gary you could see after the bounce out he got angry and it helped him

    That was some match. Didn’t think Anderson was going to recover when Mensur got back to 17-17. He was all over the place for 3 or 4 legs, think he thought he had it done?
    Then that bounce out. He has rotten luck at the worst of times but has bottle in spades. Deserving winner.

    An absolutely brilliant final. It's the best I've seen Mensur play over such a long format. Great respect for each other two.

    There's nothing like a proper tournament like this.

    That was magnificent.

    Anderson tapping the turbo to go one away

    Mensur levelling it with one of the most clutch shots I’ve ever seen.

    Could see Gary got annoyed at the bull bounceout, had had two fall out a couple of legs before

    great event - great final - every game anderson played was a cracker
    worthy winner
    mensur played his part - a much better player than i ever thought he would be

    anderson is having a good year with winning the uk open also
    nearly back to 2nd in the world

    wonder how mvg will react in next few months

    Going to put my annual wager on Anderson for the Worlds. Scores heavily, decent on doubles and good under pressure, if his back holds up he'll be there or thereabouts.

    Mensur is now 6th in the world and I think he did more than play his part in the final. He played exceptional darts to force the extra legs and had he won he'd have deserved it. He always talks himself down and shows a lot of deference to the big name players but he knows he can give them a serious run for their money.

    My superior eye for a good contender is the big thing we should take from this week.

    Suljovic is hard to watch but he's very dogged and determined, can see him beating Wright and losing to Anderson in the final.

    Hey AJ what we should take is my ability to pick the finalists/winner! 😉

    TBF lucky I'm not a betting man as I'm usually way off the mark 😂

    i think only for shoulder injury anderson would have gone close to win the worlds again last year
    this year he has stepped things up again
