"The 55-year-old is enjoying a renaissance and is now just two wins away from lifting a third world title, 10 years after his last. If he can do so, he would become the oldest player to lift the PDC world title and join Michael van Gerwen in second place in the all-time list of champions. After beating Van Gerwen on Tuesday night, Anderson looked every bit a potential champion as he dispatched Hood 5-2."
"It's a hereditary condition, so I've passed it to both, both of my children, he said. My son doesn't have it as bad as as me, but my daughter has it really bad. When it gets to about six feet, she can see, but after that her vision gets really bad, so she's registered as visually impaired. So, if I can raise a lot of awareness for that and try and find a cure for it, that means a lot to me."
Gary Anderson returned to the World Championship semi-finals for the first time in four years after beating Justin Hood 5-2. Anderson is two wins away from a third world title and would become the oldest player to lift the PDC world title while joining Michael van Gerwen in second on the all-time champions list if successful. Justin Hood reached the quarter-finals in his debut and earned £100,000, enabling him to pursue his plan to open a Chinese restaurant. Ryan Searle reached the last four with a 5-2 win over Jonny Clayton despite having Kjer's optic neuropathy, a hereditary vision condition, and wants to raise awareness and find a cure.
