Got a pretty out of form Josh Payne or Diogo Portela in round 2, so it would be a bit of a disaster if he couldn't get through that bit. Then he's slated to face Smith, would rather it have been Gando, but who knows, hopefully he can find his form againRogg wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2019 10:34 amWell Dumbo was fantastic against Clayton in the corresponding round as recently as the last edition. He's played brilliantly in many matches at the Worlds down the (very few!) years. He's arguably overdue a complete disaster there... uhohthegentle wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2019 12:21 pmI miss this version of Dimitri. That version of Reyes too, let's not forget his absolute madness of a game vs MvG in the next round. Alas, he was not to maintain that form...Rogg wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2019 10:40 am These two actually back to back at the 2017 Worlds.
(95.54) Cristo Reyes 3-2 Dimitri Van den Bergh (99.11) -- Both brilliant. Reyes 12/19 on doubles. Dimitri 9 180s and did little wrong.
(94.46) Darren Webster 3-2 Stephen Bunting (91.02) -- Bunter binned 7 match darts. Unreal Webster surge and won the tie-break.

Any match starring the mighty Lord Ronald of Blackpool.

Think any of the first round games this year have potential to make this list?

Re: Favourite world's first round games
Nothing in the first round looks that enticing to me. Though to be fair, before last year the first round was what now is the second. So it's not comparing like for like.Icardi Breezer wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 10:13 pm Think any of the first round games this year have potential to make this list?

Re: Favourite world's first round games
De Sousa-Heta is the standout, and if you are to compare like with like, the winner against Duzza in the next round is tasty. On that note, the potential Ratajski-Hughes contest is also very tastyIcardi Breezer wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 10:13 pm Think any of the first round games this year have potential to make this list?

Re: Favourite world's first round games
A few other last 64 games look very exciting, Hopp-Clemens arguably the most interesting

Re: Favourite world's first round games
Yes I agree, De Sousa-Heta is definitely the stand out first round tie. The only bad thing about the potenial Ratajski-Hughes game is that they've put it on a Tuesday afternoon where no bugger can watch it.thegentle wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 12:18 amDe Sousa-Heta is the standout, and if you are to compare like with like, the winner against Duzza in the next round is tasty.

Re: Favourite world's first round games
Wattimena v Cullen in 2018 was mentioned up thread. Surely add to that Wattimena v Humphries 2020 in the corresponding round.
