2019 Lakeside World Professional Darts Championships 5-13 Jan 2019

[ChrisW]

100 + average for the Jap.
2 180s in a row

[Dean Martin]

Laura Turner is quite decent in the comms.
Please note PDC

She's better than Nicholson prattling away.

[O C]

This is fun to watch, great darts! And agree Laura pretty good on comms

[DavidB]

This is incredible from Suzuki, raised her game to a 93 average, 6 darts into a 9 darter, 148 out - fantastic!!!

Lorraine is playing well but Suzuki is literally hitting everything!!!

Agreed.

Brilliant stuff from the Miracle - her game and demeanor is a delight to watch

[Dean Martin]

This is brutal from Suzuki.

[The Crusader]

Wowzers deserved winner.

[O C]

Superb

[DavidB]

Highest average in a women’s match at Lakeside world championship also??

[Dean Martin]

Lorraine is a nice lady but shouldn't feel so bad as Suzuki played out of her skin.

[Murphio]

Wow. That was something special.

[DavidB]

Lorraine played very well but I don’t think even Ashton on her best form could have lived with Suzuki today...

Suzuki a breath of fresh air.

Georgie Bingham has been crap all week but surpassed herself there asking a clearly distraught Winstanley ‘how are you feeling...’

Nico using more stupid wrestling analogies - total lead balloons.

[1205]

That's the kind of performance of which people thought her capable. Best average in a women's final, and 5th best in the tournament.

But, let's calm down a bit. In last year's final Lisa Ashton averaged 89.80.

Wonder if Uncle Bazza will be sniffing around women’s darts again?

The rumour is he already is

Lisa Ashton averaged 89.80 in last year's final and has had a higher average. (90.18 against Gulliver in the 2015 quarter final). Ashton also has the record televised women's average of 98.85.

So, Ashton on her best form against Suzuki today would have been a better game.

[robot]

Agreed that Ashton’s ‘level’ looks on a similar par to the limited exposure we have seen of Suzuki.

Anyway onto a close looking Men’s semi

Rumour? I'd have thought the fact he introduced both a European and UK qualifier for the recent World Championships makes it a little more than that. But he doesn't want a ladies game per se - he wants a unisex sport and that is the way, imo, to go. In the meantime he has given the ladies their own qualifier which is fair enough until they catch up. And there is absolutely no reason they can't.

Though if he thought there was big sponsorship money/commercial interest possible coming from the Far East he could still change his tune about a dedicated ladies game
