Ryan Searle It depends on the perfect beginning of PDC 2025 Winmau World Masters. “Heavy Metal” defeated the Premier League Darts star Chris Dobey 3-1 in the opening round and now he will face Ionny Clayton In the last 16, after Welshman won 3-0 over Martin Schindler.
Despite the victory, Searle realized that there was still a lot of space for progression. “Not fully delighted with the performance, but it’s nice to win with Chris. I think we both expected that we played better than we did and stretched a little. But yes, it’s nice to win, “the English assessment during a conversation with the media after the match. “I think they said earlier that they hadn’t beat him since 2020, so it’s a lot of time and we had some good games from that time to now.”
This was not the first taste of Searle from the unique World Masters Winmau format, after reaching the last 16 versions of WDF in 2013. “It’s a wild format!” Searle says. “Jonny tomorrow and certainly can’t play like that again (Clayton was also over 115 in his winning edition). I hope no. “

After changing the best 16 players in global rankings, there is an automatically guaranteed place in the second round, and the 16 best players in the order Merit in Pro Tour will only receive a starting place in the first round, in fact offering 16 best 16 in the world further protection.

If I beat Johnny tomorrow, I could get to the top 16, so it won’t affect me, but it doesn’t mean that I still agree with it – comments Searle. “In any case, the best 16 are protected, and this only worsens. Yes, of course I travel a lot on all Euro trips, I try to do as many professional trips as I can and it just feels like kicking in my teeth. “
“This is just one of these things and I can handle it. I try not to moan too much, I said this year that I don’t moan. I will simply go down my head, put off much more effort than in the past and see where it takes me – sums up “Heavy Metal”.
