After his stunning performance, Chisnall was understandably in a confident mood and stated that he believes this is the year he finally secures the first PDC major of his career.

"I said before that he was going to have to play well to beat me because I've been playing well," the 40-year-old said, per BBC. "I've been on the radar for the last few years. I know my own ability and I know I can win this."

Chisnall will face Gary Anderson in the semi-finals, while Steven Bunting will play Gerwyn Price in the other final four clash.
