Chris Dobey maakt hattrick compleet en wint Players Championship 25

Chris Dobey heeft woensdag het 25ste Players Championship-toernooi van het seizoen op zijn naam geschreven. Hij won in de finale van Stephen Bunting, die voor de tweede opeenvolgende dag een finale verloor.

De Engelsman had Nathan Rafferty (6-4), William O'Connor (6-2), Gabriel Clemens (6-2), Jeffrey de Graaf (6-5), Luke Littler (6-5) en Daryl Gurney (7-1) verslagen om zijn vijfde Players Championship-finale van het seizoen te bereiken.

In de finale trof hij Bunting, die had afgerekend met Danny van Trijp (6-4), Jamie Hughes (6-1), Jermaine Wattimena (6-3), Mike de Decker (6-4), Connor Scutt (6-4) en Andrew Gilding (7-4). Dobey pakte al een 4-2 voorsprong en liep daarna makkelijk uit naar een 8-3 overwinning. Nadat Dobey eerder dit jaar al Players Championship 7 en 19 had gewonnen, heeft hij nu een hattrick aan Players Championship-titels binnen.
