Michael Smith will play for the title at the Darts World Championship in London on Monday (January 3rd, 2022). The “Bully boy“defeated his English compatriot in the first semi-final James Wade clearly with 6: 3 and is for the second time in his career in the final in the “Ally Pally“. In 2019 he lost to Michael van Gerwen (Netherlands).
“I’m getting my second chance now, I can return the favor for 2019 and I’m really looking forward to it. I live my dream. I don’t care who my opponent will be in the final“said Smith at” DAZN “.
Wade still has to wait for his first final
Smith, number nine on the seed list, had the defending Welsh champions in the quarterfinals Gerwyn Price thrown out of the tournament and didn’t give Wade a chance either. “The Machine“is considered one of the best players who never made it to the final. “I will win the World Cup. Whether this year or in the next ten years. I will be world champion, 100 percent“, Wade had said before his fourth semi-final.
For second place in the final played on Sunday evening Peter Wright and Gary Anderson (both Scotland).
