De nieuwe PDC Home Tour kampioen Nathan Aspinall gaat voor zijn derde TV-titel op het World Matchplay in juli.
Meteen nadat Nathan Aspinall als beste uit de groep kwam met Gary Anderson, Jonny Clayton en Jelle Klaasen en daarmee de Low6 Home Tour won, verplaatste hij zijn aandacht naar het prestigieuze toernooi dat komende zomer plaatsvindt.
Nadat bekend werd dat de World Matchplay doorgaat op zijn oorspronkelijke data (18 t/m 26 juli), zette Aspinall zijn zinnen op het omhoog houden van de Phil Taylor Trophy.
ASPINALL: "I've had two months off where I've loved spending time with the family, but I've got a job to do on the dartboard and I'm itching to get back into it.
I want to get back to playing darts on tour, back to winning titles, back doing what I do best, and that starts with the World Matchplay.
With the announcement today that the World Matchplay will go ahead on its originally scheduled dates I can't wait to be back on the stage and on TV.
I've hardly been practicing during lockdown and when I have done it's been horrendous.
In my first two Home Tour nights I was pretty poor but now I've started putting the work in since it became clear that the World Matchplay would be going ahead.
It takes a couple of weeks to get back to your best but I believe I am up there with the best in the world and I was playing really well before the break."
