The World Matchplay hits the darts world July 21, who will cause a major upset this time?
The World Matchplay starts July 21, bringing back the best in the world of darts.
2012 was an amazing year, as darts have never witnessed such ratings and the worldwide audience has sky rocketed. It is just because of one simple aspect that has a big impact on anything that requires appreciation, entertainment.
Darts provide entertainment and that is the main aspect of its popularity and success this year.
What makes this year bigger and better is the fact that it has been extremely unpredictable. The betting has been off the charts because of the same unpredictability factor.
The McCoy’s Premier League was the most entertaining Premier League that has ever taken place. The best match of the entire Premier League was the battle between the world number one and the world number two.
Phil Taylor versus Adrian Lewis was the biggest face-off that the fans were anticipating. The Premier League was the venue as these giants prepared for the ultimate face-off.
Taylor had the upper hand because of his experience and dominance at the sport for almost a decade while Lewis has passion and aggressiveness as his key trait.
In the final moments of the battle, the world was stunned to witness Adrian Lewis defeating Phil Taylor. “The Jackpot” proved that his passion was dominant and took over Taylor’s experience.
It was not over yet at the Premier League. Who would have thought that an Aussie rookie would absolutely destroy “The Jackpot” at the Premier League?
Well, it did happen. Simon Whitlock took out Lewis and threw him out of the Premier League. It was the biggest upset of the entire Premier League because Lewis was the top player at the time of defeat.
Lewis did not stop there. The UK Open was another tournament where “The Jackpot” killed his stature as a dart thrower. He left the tournament earlier than expected and left his fans outraged and in agony.
The World Matchplay is another tournament for Lewis to make a comeback without complaining too much about the crowd or his twitter page. Realistically speaking, he may cause another upset.
