Darts: Anderson in fiery form as he powers into PDC final

Scotland's Gary Anderson powered into the final of the PDC Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship by beating Terry Jenkins 6-2 in the semi-finals.

Jenkins won the opening set at Alexandra Palace but Anderson stormed back to take the next five in a row, twice checking out on 126 and scoring heavily throughout.

A lapse in concentration from Anderson allowed Jenkins to take the seventh set with a 120 checkout, but that was just delaying the inevitable as Anderson closed out an impressive victory.

Anderson, who hit 12 180s and averaged 102, said: "Last time I played Terry on TV was a battle and I think I lost 16-14.

"He's usually very steady. He won the first set and I thought I might be in trouble but I got it back to 1-1 and I think I should have wrapped it up 6-1 to be honest."

Anderson will face Adrian Lewis in the final, but added: "Before I would get wound up over who I was playing next, but now I feel too old to worry about it. If I'm going to win I'm going to win, if I'm going to lose I'm going to lose. (But) I'm not here to get beaten."

Anderson will meet Lewis after he won a thrilling contest with Phil Taylor's conqueror Mark Webster 6-4.

Webster lost the first set but then hit back to level at 1-1. The next two sets followed a similar path, with the scores tied at 2-2 before Lewis finally hit some of the form that he showed in destroying Vincent van der Voort to move clear at 4-2, with a 116 checkout highlighting what good form he was in. But Webster twice won against the throw to come back to 4-3 and then held his throw to level at 4-4.

Lewis was rocked but managed to reclaim his composure to take the tightest of ninth sets with a double eight, and then landed a 76 checkout to win against the throw in the tenth. That gave him a leg with the darts to win it and he duly obliged, landing double-top to earn his place in tonight's showpiece.
