Feel like Smith rushes the doubles and other darts to his detriment but that’s also his game

Embarrassing for Wade, especially considering how well he’s played to date.
He just can’t keep up with Smith’s scoring, can’t see a way back from here.

I think he's given up. A while ago
Wouldn’t call it embarrassing, Smith is just too good
Made a match of it, at least.
Nice little fight back from Wade, expect it to be too little too late
A lot would've caved in long ago, Wade's put up a decent battle.
Smith looks ready to win the big one.
Smith wins 6-3.
Probably played out how most expected.

Credit to Wade for making it such a good game, big one now.
Some standard this. Wright has been incredible to be 2-0 up. Anderson will come back.
Yeah, Anderson is playing well and could rattle 2 quick sets off
Expect Wright to sneak it though
Agreed, think Wright will win around 6-4
Gary doesn't look on it. Could just be the pressure of Wright's scoring.
The crowd is dead
Better than ‘Scotland get battered’ and ‘Kolo Toure’.
Turning into a good game now..
Anderson really good on the doubles.
Anderson needs to come out firing this set otherwise its over Wright is playing brilliantly.
Anderson is really motoring now. Wright under pressure but Gary needs a break to save it.
Unreal darts. I think that break from Wright will kill Anderson off
feck off, needed double 5 so zooms in to the bull
I was hoping Anderson would win but what a performance by Wright.
That final set was unbelievable quality from both players. The pressure Gary was putting Peter under would have broken any other player bar MVG or Price.
Wright is though in another thriller.

Jesus wept, quality darts all around there, the standard has been immense
Love the respect between the two.
Amazing play from both again, going to be a great match tomorrow.

Even the commentator has to tell him
Anderson losing with a 103 average is just filthy.
Huge credit to Wright there how he held it together from that onslaught I'll never know
Some great darts being thrown there lots of 180’s…
Any predictions for tonight?
Smith would be a popular winner and will score heavily but has he got the nerve to get over the line?
It means so much to him, and he’s never won a major before never mind the World!
But if he gets it, it could the first of many!

I would prefer Smith to win this time. If they both play their best then Wright wins with consistency for me but it should hopefully be a belter whatever happens.
Smith for me.
Been in imperious form, although so has Wright.
Although I think Smith looks relaxed and confident so far this tournament, will be close but Smith just edges it for me.
Tough one to call. Smith has played brilliantly for so much of the tournament and held his nerve against Clayton and Price- they were horrible draws for R4 and the QF. Wright really stepped up a gear last night though and was unbelievable in that last set under pressure.
I reckon Smith edges it, with Wright's doubles letting him down. Happy if either win though, they're both great to watch.

The only thing that worries me is in his interview after the QF or SF (can’t remember which) he said he was shaking badly on the doubles because he was that nervous.
And tonight he’s so close to realising his dream, I just wonder if it will get to him, especially if he goes behind.

Smith and Wright 7-5 is my prediction with Smith and Wright breaking the record for the most 180's in a match which I think is 42.
Going with Wright on the basis of his performance last night. Hits his doubles tonight and I think he'll leave Smith behind
I took 10/3 with PP for Wright 7-4 or 7-5
Wright said after his win over Anderson, he is having knees issues, wonder if that could be an issue if the game goes long.
Wright by 7-4
