James Wade, the third most successful player in the history of the PDC, has made it a double reaching a semi-final for the second time this month in the Darts Masters currently taking place in Australia.

James secured his place in this weekend’s semi-final of the Perth Darts Masters with an average of 101.05 and five 180’s during the game which concluded with his 10-5 win over Michael Smith.

“It’s always hard playing a friend and Michael is certainly a friend. I have my critics and I know I bite sometimes when I shouldn’t but it is nice to answer them every now and again,” said James.

“I know how good I am and I know what I do wrong at times. There’s only a handful of players who have won what I’ve won but there are players more dedicated than others these days. If I was the most dedicated player, would I be the best in the World? Possibly.”

James will play Gary Anderson in the semi-finals in Perth following Gary’s 10-5 win over Simon Whitlock.

James Wade has reached the semi-finals of the Auckland Darts masters after defeating Daryl Gurney 10-7.

“That was a bit of the old James Wade magic, important checkouts and some solid scoring,” said James.

“Daryl’s disappointed with how he played there but he’s got a massive future and has loads of chances to win tournaments in the future.”

James will play Kyle Anderson in the semi-final on Sunday 13th August – the final day at the Auckland Darts Masters after Kyle beat Simon Whitlock 10-9
