Jonny Clayton uncovered he will handle the World Matchplay each game in turn as he hopes to work on his record at the Winter Gardens.In four past Matchplay appearances, Clayton has simply figured out how to enlist one win.
That singular triumph came against Dirk van Duijvenbode during the 2021 release of the occasion.
Clayton couldn't back up his first-round win with an extended run, as he was taken out in his next match by countryman Gerwyn Price.
This weekend, the 47-year-old will start his mission against Rowby-John Rodriguez. The two men as of late shared the oche as the Austrian got an uncommon triumph over Clayton during a World Cup of Darts singles match.
"Not entirely set in stone. The World Matchplay is my number one competition," said the Welshman, who will take on Van lair Bergh or Rydz on the off chance that he advances to adjust two."I'm going to accept each game as it comes, and I have a huge task to take care of on Saturday night, on the grounds that Rowby is playing all around well.
"Winning the World Matchplay would be right up there with my best accomplishments, since you need to play your socks off to beat the world's best dart players."
Clayton shows up in Blackpool having performed well at the two latest Players Championship events.One of them saw the Welshman arrive at the last prior to losing 8-5 against Brendan Dolan.
A day sooner, the previous Premier League victor arrived at the quarter-last prior to being taken out by inevitable hero Adrian Lewis.
Those two runs assisted with finishing a couple of disheartening a long time for Clayton who lost the World Cup of Darts last to Australia, prior to bowing out in the main round of four progressive occasions - the Dutch Masters, European Darts Matchplay, Players Championship 18 and Players Championship 19.
