World Darts Championship 2023

The Cazoo World Darts Championship semi-finals take place on Monday night so check out Chris Hammer's match-by-match predictions, best bets and a suggested ...

He also fired in 10 of the 12 maximums, which is quite a strange result considering van den Bergh has a higher seasonal ratio of 0.30 per leg compared to 0.27. Afterwards he took to social media to say he's 'not sure' about playing in the tournament again but hopefully that was just one of his knee-jerk reactions we can take with a pinch of salt. Then as Price's game fell apart, Clemens could coast towards the finishing line and he probably can't believe his luck. However, even if he finds his range then Van den Bergh can still give him more than a run for his money in that department and if they perform to usual rates then the Belgian should hit more. The DreamMaker - who should really be now nicknamed the 'Speechmaker' - upped his maximum-hitting game considerably against Jonny Clayton as he fired 13 in just 32 legs and he'll be hoping to be that prolific tonight in order to apply as much pressure on MVG as possible. Van den Bergh landed four 100+ checkouts that night but strangely he's only managed once during this World Championship run in the 51 legs won and that certainly has to be viewed as an outliner rather than evidence to suggest he's weak at that area of the game. The most high profile of those came in the World Matchplay semi-finals back in July and on that occasion van Gerwen battled back from 13-10 down to triumph 17-14, with both players averaging in the high 90s and each throwing nine 180s. In fact it was the 11th time that he'd reached three figures in his last 15 matches since losing to Dobey at the European Championship and during that run his overall average is just over the 102 mark. Bully Boy was well below his high-scoring best against Stephen Bunting, averaging just 91.63 and throwing just six of the 20 maximums in the match but at least his finishing was extremely clinical as he pinned 47% of his doubles compared to his opponent's 24%. Bully Boy fired in nine in 21 legs during the Grand Slam of Darts final (0.43 per leg) and 17 over 28 legs in his semi-final (0.61 per leg) while don't forget even in last year's final against Peter Wright he managed 24 in 50 legs (0.48) as he broke the overall tournament record.
