Ionny Clayton He survived the thriller in the second round of PDC 2025 Winmau World Masters. “Ferret” defeated Ryan Searle 4-3 and can now prepare for the clash with Luke Littler in the quarterfinals.
The 50-year-old Welshman rose strongly against the wall when he was 3-1 in sets. Clayton refused to accept the defeat, roaring back to the competition and despite the survival of the unsuccessful Matchdart of Searle, winning 4-3 victory. “This is brilliant,” Clayton told his interview after the match against Darting Media. “A completely different game than last night (he previously beat Martin Schindler 3-0). Last night I couldn’t miss the high tones, today I couldn’t find high tones. He let me several times, but I felt good and listen to go through such a match, it’s always a good feeling! “
Clayton has particularly nice memories of this tournament. In 2021, and then in the “old” version of Masters, Welshman provided the first important title of his career PDC. In this issue, Clayton defeated Mervyn King 11-8 in the final. Despite the fact that the format has completely changed to 2025, Clayton wants to use these positive memories in its favor. “Of course, just getting to the last day is a huge tick in the field,” he assesses. “It will be a huge task to win again, but I can’t wait.”

After one of these PDC stars remained disappointed in 2025 Darts Premier League Clayton Clayton is also right to prove. “If I could choose, I would prefer to be in the Premier League, which you know, I would prefer to travel everywhere on Thursday evenings, but listen, I have to prove that I am good enough,” he says. “Of course, I didn’t do it last year, so I want to come back this year. I have been there three times and loved every second, so I want to come back. “
If Clayton is to record a second triumph in Masters, he must first be bypassed by the recently crowned world champion, Luke Littler, his opponent in the quarter -finals. “I had a good time and I’m going to try my best and that’s all I can say,” he announces. “What he produced, what he was doing is a paint for him.”
