As a recorded player, Clemens had a oral in the first round. By contrast, his opponent of Williams had already completed a game and was able to import himself at the 3-1 against Matt Campbell on stage in the Ally Pall.

Clemens started with a slight effort, but his counterparty did him the favor to omit some double. Thus, the German Giant grabbed the first pass — and then brought through his aspiration. The German was in the game and got the first sentence with the double 16. Despite 3: 0, Clemens shook a bit with his head afterwards, was probably not satisfied with his average of 88. For comparison: Williams just played a lousy average of just over 65.

143er checkout, first 180: Clemens takes ride

Of course, the hitchers was at a high level, but still knows Clemens that he can play better and must be against stronger opponents too. In sentence two, he continued to have problems with the scores, which is why he had to give his aspiration right away. It was generally a match on no good level, both players did not really come into play, again and again there were mistakes — until Clemens suddenly checked in 143 and according to legs.

That gave the 38-year self-confidence, in the following passage followed his first 180. With completely other body language Gaga played — Nevertheless, the passage was narrowly scarce, and Williams even had Set dart. He did not use this, Clemens, on the other hand, sat down his second chance in the double 10 (6/7 on the double at this time) and went with 2: 0 in the lead. An important moment, and this time came the fist of the German.

Clemens plays it home

The third pass began with a leg where Williams poured massively double opportunities. Only so got Clemens the chance to go in this passage with 1: 0 in the lead. The German then waved, that was not the level he wanted to offer. But it handed this day against the number 93 of the world that caught a weak day. In the end, Gaga brought himself to the last sentence with 3: 1, turned the first match dart into the double 18. Despite clear 3: 0, Clemens shook his head, his gesture almost made the impression as if he apologized to be forward.

Of course, a successful appearance from the result, but that more quickly has to come, Clemens should be aware. Because on Monday a real chunk is waiting in the 3rd round: in the evening session, the duel stands with Jonny Clayton (number 8 of the world), which is known this year very good darts. The German Giant should not be enough for such a performance.
