Scot chasing third world title, 10 years after last triumph
Searle talks about playing through eye condition on oche
Gary Anderson returned to the World Championship semi-finals for the first time in four years after ending Justin Hood’s dream debut run.
The 55-year-old is enjoying a renaissance and is now just two wins away from lifting a third world title, 10 years after his last. If he can do so, he would become the oldest player to lift the PDC world title and join Michael van Gerwen in second place in the all-time list of champions.
After beating Van Gerwen on Tuesday night, Anderson looked every bit a potential champion as he dispatched Hood 5-2. The Scot will now meet Luke Humphries or Gian van Veen in Friday’s semi-final, which will be his eighth last-four encounter at Alexandra Palace.
