It’s been a quiet week for Dave Chisnall, who is preparing for another week of progress towards earning his place at next month’s World Matchplay Darts in Blackpool.
Dave Chisnall: Back to the Practice Board
As much as I enjoy the grind of the Euro Tour, it’s always nice to spend a weekend at home in my own bed. We’re pushing through with the power of positivity – not quite Mr Motivator but you get what I’m saying!
The English lads can hopefully do the business out at the World Cup, and the boys will definitely win the World Cup of Darts. The boys will want to make amends after last year. I watched bits of the World Cup last night but it looked a bit slow, and a bit boring. Fingers crossed it gets a bit more entertaining and the Three Lions roar into the knockout stages without any hiccups.
Dave Chisnall: Wigan Bound
The Pro Tours in Wigan are some of my favourites as it’s only a short train from where I am, and saves on the travel. I go there next week knowing a good result can secure us a place at The World Matchplay. I’m going there with the attitude of ignoring the consequences and just playing darts. When you’re worried about the consequences of a game of darts, it weighs heavy and you’ve just got to go there and forget about everything.
The two Pro Tours and the weekend’s Slovak Open is a good chance to lay a marker down and really kick into the second half of the season and beyond. I’ve not played my best darts, by a longshot, for around 18-24 months now, but the practice has been good the last few weeks and it’s all about confidence and momentum.
It was good to get over the line against Van Veen in last week’s Euro Tour, and it was just a bit of stupidity for going for food before playing Ryan (Joyce) and being bloated up on stage. Those to quarter-final finishes have given me a bit of a kick up the arse that I can still play darts, and I’m looking forward to showing folk that over the next few weeks. Good luck to the English boys in America and in Germany. Bring it home!
