USA dart player here, what a great Final I think Peter would have won it sooner than he did. I watched the hole match live stream. I'm going to keep this as clean as I can, but the jakeoff that was whistling when Peter was shooting his out in the 7th, 8th & 9th sets needed his whistler removed. I was pissed and if I would had been there I sure would have let him know how I felt. The ref should have called that to order.

[@tccandler]

5-4 (2-0) down... and came back like that! Top notch under pressure. Smith just cannot get over the hump.

[@Markboyy1984]

Smith makes the final only to make up the numbers, gotta feel for him though!

[@mrgrimm53]

It's wasted talent if you can't deliver when you really need to. With the right mindset he could be one of the greatest. But I fear he will never break the barrier tbh.

[@DolFunTheDolhpinVtuber]

I wanted Smith to win, he was brilliant all throughout this tournament, but you have hand it to Wright, he was down 4-5 (0-2) and played his best darts from that point on.

[@thomasgray5406]

Like you, I wanted Smith to win but Wright is a decent person and a worthy champion. I feel that Smith just achieving one finish of over a ton (if that stat is right) is significant, he wasn't stealing legs often enough.That spell of losing eight legs successively was partly down to Wright but also partly down to Smith not quite being consistent enough, his average wasn't too bad during it but the distribution of scores was too extreme or untimely in the legs. I really hope he wins it one day. The prize money in the tournament is incredible, especially when you consider how poor darts prize money was many years ago.

[@mrgrimm53]

Smith simply choked and Wright took huge advantage of that.

[@strozixxx]

You can notice that he switched to another (2nd choice) darts set from that point

Some players never get there again.

[@Hselym]

As sad as most of us will be for Michael Smith; I think it’s important to remember how far Peter Wright has come; he was known for so many years as a “bottler” or “choker”, could never get over the hump and despite having the UK Open, once he finally beat MVG in that final two years ago, after losing to him so many times, in all those major finals, you can only be amazed at what he’s gone on to win now. It’s brilliant for Snakebite but also to think once Michael gets over the mental hurdle like Wright did; he can do similar feats in darts. A fantastic final overall and congratulations to them both for giving us that entertainment!

[@stingerbee8346]

^^^^^Exactly. I remember Peter looking over at Michael after losing to him and saying, "I'm the best runner up in darts" or something like that. Now he's just the best in darts at the moment.

[@michaelhudson5009]

I know there's been a lot of criticism in the past of Smith bottling it but those last 2 sets he averaged well over 100 and simply got outplayed for 2 sets. Definitely didn't bottle it today and kept his form all the way so you have to applaud him for that 👏 well done Wright for finding the extra in the end to win

[@WelshSwan1986]

Yeah he didn't bottle it, bottling it would be if he'd gone 6-4 up and had match darts but blown it. As it stands, he did all he could but just got beaten by the better player. It's very hard to argue Wright didn't deserve it after that run he went on when he was 5-4 and 2-0 down.

Wrights last 2 sets were 113 and 114 av. Not much to do about haha.

[@JoelWende]

He didn’t bottle it, but even if he had - a lot of great champions in a lot of different sports were known as bottlers at one stage or another. Roger Federer comes to mind…everyone was calling him a choker in 2001/2002 - then he broke through in 2003 and became unbeatable. Smith has plenty of time left and will be a multi world champion.

[@steveh4873]

We won’t find out if he’d of bottled it as he didn’t get 6 sets, his own final set for the title would of shown if he was gonna bottle it, he played well just Wright knows how to turn on at crucial times. Experience got him there. Smith had a great tournament.

From then on he was exceptional, if Michael could have won set 10 and taken his lead to 6-4 it's a totally different game. Key thing now is he doesn't let his head drop and he uses this to push on and win a big tv tournament, I think once he wins one it will open the floodgates for him.

Imagine paying a price for a ticket and then the expectation is that you cheer for both teams… dumb

[@adambrady8236]

@@joshmondragon9916 you cheer for your own person or team you'd like to win booing the opposition is sad moronic football mentally. There all just game's best man or team wins good on them. It won't change the booing idiots lives so just enjoy your sport with manners.

Smith played his heart out, congrats to Wright though!

The very beginning of this video looked like my darts lately. Turned out to be a great match.

[@SB-xv3cd]

Great game!!

[@jacksonhart8051]

That seals the deal. I am no longer a Smith fan. I’ve been a fan since 1982 and a season ticket holder since 1996. I officially will not be renewing my plan next season nor will I watch on tv ever again. Smith is officially the worst player in history.

[@mymond86mymondraymond41]

Soo good play..

[@kieranmckenna2569]

Thanks for sharing - would be great to get some new commentators on the scene.

[@DrScoob]

Any suggestions? Mardle is the marmite one, Webster and Turner are quite stale. Colin Lloyd has had a few stabs as well but I'm not keen. Devon Peterson has had another dip in playing form, maybe he'll be back in there soon!

[@kieranmckenna2569]

@DrScoob yes, nothing personal against Marvell but marmite nails it.

[@mrtoffeypop]

English fan's are legit the worst booing for the sake of it

[@guyfawkes055]

Wayne Mardle predicted 7-5 and John Part predicted 5-7. Mardle outdone again 😁

Can we appreciate that just under three minutes involved one of the worst legs in history 😆

I'm so glad for my friend Peter Wright but Michael smith also earned it. what a style

[@bibhushanrajthala]

What a first set.... Feel sorry for smith.. So close !! Always been losing early this year I thought he could be the champion

[@howwie66]

oh what a tournament, nice to see a different final and a great one as well. shame smith couldnt take 3rd ranking off MVG. But defo one to watch.

[@MrSilkykev]

I think the song is now England get battered everywhere they go everywhere they go. Scotland 1 England 😢

[@catinthehat661]

I like Peter Wright enough that I bought his darts yesterday 😄🐍 Little pricey but very nice.

[@sickboyundici]

Probably the right final had to be Wright - Anderson, because quality gaming and insane mentality on both Smith was great till 5-4, then he suffered the shock of 10th set and never recovered ... as unfortunately always did in his whole career ...but he's still young and a lot of time to get better player

[@GoGoTwice]

The organisers really need to do something about the crowd - it’s supposed to be a World Championships, not the English Championships! The level of booing is off-putting, especially for families watching at home

[@CrazyPanda688]

Oh god the families, they must be traumatised

[@qwerty69600]

The families at home?! Haha. Get a grip you simp.

[@leerobinson8709]

Nonsense. Have you ever been to a football match with 60000 fans booing? Anyway, it's worth mentioning the PDC have been nurturing this environment for decades. Creating pantomime villains etc... Started with Priestley and Taylor. Even in the 80's with the BDO you could argue that Jocky Wilson and Bristow had it to a lesser extent. Time to reap what they sow...

[@roccostiff2444]

Yeah well said crowd went to far this year PDC need to sort this out!

[@roccostiff2444]

What is the weight of the arrows used in such matches? If anyone knows, can you write?

[@jasonjones5357]

Feel for Michael and thought Peter would wilt as he looked exhausted against Gary where if Gary had won that set for 5-5 he would have gone on to win the match and I thought if it got close later on he would fade. But to come back 5-4 against the throw and reel off 7 or 8 on the spin, incredible and fully deserved. Wow he told everyone he'd win the MPlay and the world's - That was 80-1 with the bookies!

[@Vincornelis]

Terrible crowd again. Booing and loud whistling during important doubles. Say what you want about the old BDO days but at least they knew how to control a crowd.

[@doraemon402]

Peter switched between two sets of darts 5 times during that match. It was clear to me that the ones he had used during the Matchplay were clearly the ones working better but he kept switching and insisting in using the other ones. Thank God he made the right decision in the end. That allowed him to win 9 out of the last 10 legs. Maybe it was all for show, as he sometimes says. LOL
