“I was in a little lead and the pressure was then on him.”
But at 2-2 in the seventh set, and Anderson with the darts, the match was going only one way and he completed victory in a game of the highest quality.
Anderson smashed in 12 of the 20 180s and while he had big checkouts off 130 and 115, Chisnall really played his part with a 140, 121 and 112.
“The 180s are back,” said Anderson. “I hope I can keep playing at this level.”
