The First Round Concludes at Players Championship 13
The first round of the highly anticipated Players Championship 13 has drawn to a close, with several prominent Darts players emerging victorious and progressing to the latter stages of the tournament.
Among the leading lights who have moved forward are Michael Smith, Peter Wright, and Raymond van Barneveld. Michael Smith, in particular, showcased his dominance by securing a 6-1 victory over Darren Beveridge, with a ton-topping average that highlighted his exceptional performance.
While Peter Wright clinched a 6-1 win over Madars Razma, his average of 76 was relatively poor, perhaps hindered by the fact that his opponent also managed a 77 average. Nonetheless, Wright was able to overcome the challenge and secure his place in the next round.
In another notable match, Dimitri van den Bergh was surprisingly beaten by Danny Jansen, while Raymond van Barneveld emerged victorious against Adam Gawlas. James Wade also impressed, defeating recent ProTour winner Alan Soutar with a 101 average and a 6-3 scoreline.
“As the second round gets underway, some familiar names have already booked their spots in the next stage. Gary Anderson and Nathan Aspinall have both progressed, while Martin Schindler and Danny Noppert have been among the biggest names to fall thus far in this round.”
The tournament continues to captivate Darts enthusiasts, with the action-packed matches and the presence of top-tier players keeping the excitement high. As the competition heats up, fans eagerly await to see which players will emerge victorious and secure their place in the later stages of this prestigious event.
