Morecambe’s Dave Chisnall begins his World Matchplay campaign this evening at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens.
Darts ace Chizzy takes on Kim Huybrechts in the first round.
Chizzy, who will as usual enter the arena to the tones of ‘Dizzy’ by Vic Reeves and the Wonder Stuff, has reached the quarter finals of this tournament five times, and is on the hunt for his first televised title.
Earlier in the season he was forced to withdraw from the World Championship after testing positive for covid-19.
The former World Grand Prix finalist is currently number 15 in the rankings.
