It was a case of 'after the Lord Mayor's show' for Dave Chisnall who crashed out of the Ladbrokes World Championship after being whitewashed 4-0 by Andy Hamilton.

Quote:

Chisnall never came close to hitting the heights of his victory over 15-time world champion Phil Taylor in the previous round and departed the tournament with barely a whimper.

Quote:

Simon Whitlock withstood a terrific fightback from Michael van Gerwen to book his place in the quarter-finals with a 4-3 victory.

Quote:

Whitlock's reward is a clash with Gary Anderson who impressed as he brushed aside the challenge of Colin Lloyd 4-1 in the final game of the day.

Andy Hamilton reached his second World Championship semi-final courtesy of a 5-2 victory against Belgium's Kim Huybrechts.

The Stoke thrower produced a fine display in the opening quarter-final of the day, which included 11 maximums and a three-dart average of over 102.

Quote:

"If I keep producing the good averages that I have achieved in my previous couple of matches then I have nothing to worry about."

Quote:

After the match Huybrechts said: "These last couple of weeks have been a great experience for me. It's the biggest achievement of career to date and I am extremely happy, despite today's loss.

Nicholson's had plenty to say about that loss

PAUL NICHOLSON CRASHED out of the World Darts Championship last night â€“ then blamed his opponentâ€™s girlfriend for the defeat.

A bit staggering for someone to blame his opponents girlfriend for his loss but typical Nicholson in my mind as he has a big mouth but when the crowd starts getting on to him his game falls apart and he oftens like to blame someone else for his failures.[COLOR="Silver"]

James Wade held his nerve to come through a dramatic sudden death leg and clinch a thrilling 5-4 victory over John Part in a World Championship classic at Alexandra Palace.

Quote:

However, the three-time world champion came roaring back to lead 4-3 and had the darts in the eighth set as he threw for the match.

Quote:

An enthralling seventh set saw Wade move two legs to one ahead with a 12-darter, but Part levelled and then hit tops after his opponent had missed the same double to move 4-3 ahead overall.

Quote:

Fittingly Part forced a sudden death leg with a 13-dart leg of his own but, after Wade had got the darts by hitting bull, it was the Englishman who won out with an ice-cool two-dart finish of 85 with his opponent waiting on 40.

'The Machine' now faces the winner of Friday evening's clash between defending champion Adrian Lewis and Terry Jenkins in the last four

What a wonderful match where there did not deserve to be a loser and a special mention for John Part who behaved so graciously in defeat.:clap::clap:

Simon Whitlock reached the semi-finals of the Ladbrokes World Championship with a convincing 5-1 victory against Gary Anderson.

The Australian, unfancied to take the title after breaking his ankle at the end of October, is making his presence felt and set up a meeting in the last four with Andy Hamilton

Quote:

"Andy Hamilton will be a tough opponent in the semi-finals. He playing some fantastic darts at the moment, and he seems to thrive under pressure."

Adrian Lewis remains on course to defend his World Championship title after overcoming the spirited quarter-final challenge of Terry Jenkins with a 5-3 win.

Lewis romped into a three-set lead, losing just two legs in the process. But Jenkins fought-back to take the next three sets and leave the match finely balanced

Quote:

Lewis, who now faces James Wade for a place in the final added: "James does have a very good record against me.

Reigning world champion Adrian Lewis secured a quite remarkable come-from-behind World Championship semi-final win over James Wade amid farcical scenes at Alexandra Palace.

Lewis won 10 legs in a row to come from 5-1 down to beat Wade 6-5 and book a final meeting with Andy Hamilton, but it had looked for such a long time that it would be his opponent that would be going through.

Wade, known as 'The Machine', had a dart to win the match in the eighth set but broke down, allowing 'Jackpot' Lewis in to checkout on 98, and the Stoke thrower did not lose a leg after that, whitewashing Wade in the final three sets

Quote:

"That was the best win of my career, definitely," Lewis told Sky Sports 1.

Quote:

"That shows why I am the champion. There's no reason why I will not retain my title. I am the best in the world."

Semi-finals

It was a bit of a farce last night with the breeze. When Wade went 5-1 up I went to bed, so a bit surprised this morning. Quite good really, another winning bet

Final
2015: Andy Hamilton v Adrian Lewis

http://www.sportinglife.com/darts/pd...html&BID=23973

Quote:

Adrian Lewis retained his PDC World Darts Championships title with victory in this year's final at Alexandra Palace.

The 26-year-old saw off fellow Stoke thrower Andy Hamilton 7-3 and land the Â£200,000 first prize and trophy.

Lewis showed few signs of tiredness, despite a late finish to his semi-final against James Wade the previous night, to see off his tenacious 44-year-old opponent.

Lewis said: "It's not quite sunk in yet. I take everything on the chin and have a busy year ahead. This is (title) number two and I'll have a lot more.

"The fightback against James Wade last night won me the tournament. I believed in myself."

Asked how many times he could win the world title, he said: "At least 10."

"But Andy hit a lot of good shots - I want to see him in the Premier League because he deserves a place."

Hamilton, who received Â£100,000 as runner-up, said: "It's been a great week for me. I wanted to win the final so badly but I'm happy to be here.

"Keep watching me. Next year I'll be back again and hopefully I'll be winning it then."

Lewis saw three darts bounce out in the first three legs of the match but hit back from the disappointment to take the first set with a 122 checkout in the fifth leg.

The defending champion hit the first 180 of the match in the second leg of the second set, enabling him to take it against the darts - but Hamilton won the set 3-1 to level the contest.

Hamilton started the third set with a maximum before Lewis almost replicated the nine-dart finish he produced in last year's final win over Gary Anderson. This time he missed double 12 - but hit it two darts later.

Lewis was gradually establishing control and a 12-dart leg gave him a 3-2 lead. Hamilton then struggled in the closing stages of the sixth set, with Lewis nailing double 15 to go 4-2 clear.

However, Hamilton took the opening leg of the seventh set. The confidence of 'The Hammer' was boosted further when he took the second leg against the darts and he held the advantage to win the set despite a 180 from Lewis.

Lewis, though, was dominant in the eighth set, hitting double 11 - the same double which won him the title last year - to win the fourth leg and restore his two-set advantage at 5-3.

Lewis set himself up for another nine-dart finish with successive 180s at the start of the third leg in the ninth set but missed the opportunity, although he was able to break after Hamilton had missed double 16.

Although Hamilton broke back with double eight, Lewis produced a 118 checkout to snatch the set and move to within one of the title.

Hamilton took the first two legs of the 10th set but Lewis won the third and took the next against the darts to move to the brink of victory.

Both players started the fifth leg with 180s and after each had missed doubles, Lewis nailed double top to wrap up the success.
