TAB Auckland Darts Masters Quarter-Finals Ⅱ

Wade and Wright had shared the wins from their previous two meetings in Perth and Sydney, but it was the left-hander who progressed to the last four by out-scoring his rival by four 180s to three and crucially winning seven legs out of eight on his favorite double top.

Wright claimed and immediate break of throw in the game's opening leg before Wade replied in kind, hitting a 180 and tops to level before taking the next on the same bed, after the colorful Scot missed a dart to break.

Wright landed a 180 and tops to level in leg four, but Wade finished 58 to edge back in front and then took the next two to move 5-2 up, following up a 101 checkout to punish three misses from his rival before then taking out 99 with two double tops.

One rare miss at tops from Wade allowed Wright to hit back in leg eight, and the pair traded 180s in the next before a superb 121 bulls-eye finish saw the gap cut to 5-4.

Both players also landed 180s in the tenth, but with Wright waiting on 40 to level the game Wade produced a key 82 finish to regain a two-leg cushion.

Wright's miss at double 16 in the next allowed Wade in to move 7-4 up, again on tops, and though the number three seed took out 62 to stay in the game, it was only a brief rally as the left-hander hit a 180 and a rare double ten to seal the win.

"Peter didn't play his natural game and I made the most of it," said Wade. "I'm really happy with how I hit double top and I felt good today.

"There's always room for improvement and I'll have to have more in the tank, but my game's never been about big finishes and big scores, it's always been about hitting that finish at the right time.

"It's a different day for the semi-finals and final but I'm excited about it. I know I can beat anyone in the world, but if you talk the talk you've got to walk the walk."

Tungsten darts already become the only choice of most professional players, because they found its value far more than price. It’s all known that tungsten is a high-density metal, so it makes tungsten darts smaller than other materials (in the same weight).
