Break for Wright
Since Callan fails on a +100 finish, the Scot, who initially played without mistakes after the break and secured the next 180, can secure the first leg in the third set with 40 remainder over D5 and D15.
21:16
The difference…
… can be clearly searched for and found at the checkout rate. Snakebite’s 3-dart average is now slightly higher, at 100.15, but it is extremely difficult to finish and only hits two out of ten attempts. The shooting star of the past few days is completely different: With four high finishes now, he has a rate of 85.7 percent! Can he keep this form in the coming sentences?
21:13
Sentence Rydz!
Callan Rydz’s dreamlike performance is continued in the decisive leg of the second movement! The youngster takes the next throw from the old master and thus secures the 2-0 lead in sets! The best thing about it: It’s a high finish again! 106 he can, he has already proven that twice today. But even the 105 are apparently no problem! He tops Double Bull and 15 and keeps his nerve with the last arrow – he digs himself into the small red field at the top of the target …
21:09
The equalization in legs
Everyone looks excitedly at the Englishman who takes on the rest. This time he fails the high finish and Wright circles his next first arrow in the D20.
21:07
The next break for Rydz!
What’s the matter with this guy! Peter Wright is once again in double trouble, fails on 48 points. The Riot does not miss this and destroys the 106 remaining over 20, T18 and D16 for the second time.
21:05
The first leg for Peter Wright
It is the first mistake by Rydz, who after his second 180 is at 64 compared to 160, but then fails on tops in the next throw. It is his first miss on a double. The Scot then places his arrow in the D10 and equalizes in legs.
21:03
The fourth leg in a row!
Wright comes out of the short break really well at first, has eight points after 12 darts, there are still 227 left with his opponent. But that doesn’t interest the Englishman, he just plays his game, takes advantage of Snakebite’s double trouble and thanks to his next high finish, he grabs the fourth leg in a row. He eliminates the rest over 20, T18 and D16. Ice cold the boy!
20:59
Pay please…
Despite a 3-dart average of just under 106 points, the man with the colorful mohawk didn’t get anything at all in the opening sentence. Rydz stands here at an average of 109.98 per litter and sunk three out of three checkouts.
20:56
The first guided tour in sentences!
It’s unbelievable how this Callan Rydz plays in the first set of his first quarter-final of a PDC World Championship! He grabs the third leg after two + 100 throws over double bull, single four and tops. So you can start against the experienced Peter Wright!
20:54
Break for the youngster!
What a leg. They both throw their first three perfect darts and the Ally Pally freaks out completely. Then the number two in the world fails with 114 points at tops, The Riot takes advantage of the mistake and checks 54 via this very finish. 2-0 in legs in the first set for the little underdog!
20:51
The first high finish in the first leg of the game!
What a start! Rydz gets through his throw-off game, and how! Twice 134 points to crack 152 over T20, T20 and D16. He has nerves, the young Englishman!
20:49
The enema
So enough of the informative words. The time has come, “Hypersonic Missiles” by Sam Fender and the youngster Callan “The Riot” Rydz enters the Alexandra Palace in London. Then “Don’t Stop the Party” by Pitbull feat. TJR played and Snakebite enters the stage, dances as usual from one side to the other and back again … and then off we go! Have fun!
8:45 pm
Pay please
The statistics that the two put on are impressive. The favorite Scot has a 3-dart average of 98.49 points, the youth player of the year 2021 plays 97.49 here. The highest checkout from Snakebite was 161 points, Rydz already cracked 148. Both have a checkout rate of almost enormously strong 50 percent.
20:42
The mode
As usual, the quarter-final matches will be played in ‘best-of-nine’ mode. That means, whoever can win five sets first, reaches the semifinals. To win a set you still need three legs with 501 points each, which have to be eliminated with a double-out.
20:35
The colorful bird of the PDC …
Peter Wright, who is now unbeaten in nine games, has also impressed so far at this World Cup and after beating Australian Damon Heta 4: 1, he secured the quarter-final ticket with a 4: 1 against “Heavy Metal” Ryan Searle. The 51-year-old Scot recently caused a sensation next to the window, when he was also critical of the PDC’s corona policy. The 2020 world champion, who, unlike all the other participants, organized his own accommodation, said he would not take part in the upcoming World Cup if the Professional Darts Corporation stipulated that all professionals should be accommodated in a hotel.
20:23
What happened until now…
While Peter Wright, who was placed second in the ‘Order of Merit’, only entered the darts spectacle of the year in the second round, Callan, “The Riot” Rydz had to play in the first. The young Englishman, who is playing his third PDC World Championship in a row, but never got past the second round, didn’t care. In the first three matches, the man from Bedlington left his opponents, among whom Nathan Aspinall was tenth in the world rankings, no chance at all and knocked them out of the tournament with whitewash. Only Alan Soutar was able to take a leg from the 23-year-old, to whom the darts world will pay special attention this evening.
20:07
Good evening and a warm welcome!
A warm welcome to the New Year’s evening session of the PDC World Championship! After James Wade and Gary Anderson qualified for the semifinals this afternoon, this evening has two more real dart delicacies in store. In the remaining two quarter-finals, “Snakebite-Peter-Wright” and the previous shooting star of the tournament, Callan Rydz, face each other before the reigning world champion Gerwyn Price will compete with the “Bully Boy” Michael Smith from England. From 8:40 p.m., the arrows will fly again in the infamous Ally Pally. Spectacle guaranteed!
