Chris Dobey: Form and Statistics

Chris Dobey enters this matchup as the favorite and is determined to make the most of his opportunity. In his last outing, however, he suffered a 4-0 defeat against Rob Cross in the PDC World Championship quarterfinals. This was his second loss in the last six matches, as he also lost to Dave Chisnall in a 6-4 contest. Despite these setbacks, Dobey found success with victories over Michael Smith, Ross Smith, William O’Connor, and Raymond van Barneveld in the PDC World Championship. With that experience, Dobey aims to start strong and is sure to bring his best strategy and determination to this match.

Fair play to Chris Dobey for nailing that D2 for the match against Niko Springer (with the crowd whistling); especially after the attempt at D4 the previous dart that Prakash Jiwa would be proud of.
