    I think he'd lose some automatic invitations to the biggest events (or is that top 32?)

    Look at Barney he’s just about in top 32 and gets invited to everything!

    Do you know who the co-commentator is? His voice is going to take some getting used to. Is it the guy from ITV coverage?

    I thought it was Devon P?

    That would make sense, just haven't heard him on sky before.

    101 avg and 58% on doubles, that'll beat most players, but absolutely no pressure from Lewis.

    Don’t see any value in that, he looks vulnerable at the moment.

    Wattimena is a complete clown, what’s he expecting, Mensur to change his game and throw quicker just to suit him!! Not the first time he loses interest against slower throwers.

    TbL

    And it appears Mensur agrees :)

    Brilliant from Wright. Average over 110 for most of that match. Still think 9/1 is way too generous from the bookies. Tempted to back him a 3rd time

    Was just thinking that you’d got good value, he’ll be hard to beat, that’s for sure. His T19, T19 bull finish was beautiful

    Wright was great tonight but in terms of winning the tournament I just don't fancy him at all

    Who do you fancy? He's playing the best darts over the last month. Easier draw. A final will do me because it's each way but I'd love for him to do it as a fan.

    Young Nathan Aspinall must be feeling fair sick, highest average of Rd1 , but beaten

    Agree re Snakebite, he's the form player and has a reasonable route to the final
    Wouldn;t fancy him against MvG though

    Beat him in the European Darts grand Prix in the quarters or semis I think
    Final record is not good though, always looks beat to me before he even starts

    Can’t see it, he’ll up his game massively for this one. Won’t want anyone questioning that he’s the worlds best. I can see Glen getting a thumping but I’m looking forward to the session

    It's been a long time since MVG upped his game. When's the last time he average 100+?

    11 matches I think?

    I think that this match in particular will have him really motivated. BDO champ v PDC he want to show everyone who the big gorilla is :)

    Can see him beating Glen by 4/5 legs

    I heard on a recent darts podcast a mention of all possibly not well in MVG's personal life.

    Wife problems maybe?

    Smith and Hopp was an entertaining match and Suljovic and Wade is shaping up nicely

    Two great matches so far tonight. Suljovic will be kicking himself big time. Reckon the heat got to him he was terrible in the last few legs

    Really didn't think Merv stood a chance in that game. Fair play. Gary was poor but still..

    Fair play to King, thought he was going to let his head drop when Gary clawed back to lead 7-6, but he kept on attacking, and thoroughly deserved to win. Had he not bust the 120 earlier in the game I think he would have romped it. Very impressive.

    I was the same a few years a go, thought he was surley and dour, but have warmed to him recently, as i think I realised he just never bought into the "show" aspect, and he's just a normal darts player. I don't think he's ever going to win over the crowd (or even try) but I'd love to see him get back some of his old form, where he looked formidable.
