MODUS Super Series Week 11 Preview: Morris, Tweddell and McCarthy Lead a Fascinating 12-Player Field

 

Tommy Morris, Jack Tweddell and Josh McCarthy are among the names to watch as Week 11 of the MODUS Super Series gets underway, with a field containing experienced campaigners, emerging talent and several players enjoying excellent recent form.

One of the things I enjoy about looking ahead to a MODUS week is seeing how players from different levels of competitive darts measure up against each other.

This week's line-up is particularly interesting. There are players regularly producing averages in the 90s on the Challenge Tour, others arriving from successful grassroots campaigns, and a few who might surprise people once the short-format matches begin.

Using the latest Q4QS database, I've looked at the players' recent performances, rankings and results to see who might make an impression.

Morris and Tweddell Bring Challenge Tour Form

Tommy Morris enters the week with some of the strongest figures in the field.

Currently ranked 48th in Q4QS, Morris has an established Q4QS average of 89.08 and has won seven of his last ten recorded matches.

His recent Challenge Tour performances are particularly impressive. He reached the final of Event 21 with a tournament average of 95.42, including a 104.26 average in a 5–3 victory over Joe Hunt.

He followed that with a semi-final appearance at Event 23, where his run was eventually ended by another Week 11 entrant, Jack Tweddell.

That immediately gives us an interesting storyline.

Jack Tweddell, currently 128th in the Q4QS rankings, has an average of 87.30 and has also won seven of his last ten recorded matches.

Tweddell reached the final of Challenge Tour Event 23, averaging 91.11 across his campaign before losing to Joe Hunt.

There is already plenty of recent history between Morris and Tweddell. Both have beaten the other in Challenge Tour competition, and another meeting during MODUS Week 11 would be well worth watching.

On the evidence of their recent scoring, both should be serious contenders.

Josh McCarthy: The Player Arriving with Momentum

If there is one player whose recent results particularly caught my attention, it is Josh McCarthy.

McCarthy is currently ranked 112th in Q4QS, with an average of 82.70, but his recent winning record is the standout figure.

Nine wins from his last ten recorded matches.

He recently won a Vault 19.0 event at Wiltshire Darts House in Swindon, winning all eight of his matches and averaging 80.06 across the tournament.

He has also recorded tournament-winning form elsewhere, including an event average of 82.42 in a Saturday night round-robin competition.

McCarthy has demonstrated that he knows how to win tournaments, and that is something which shouldn't be underestimated.

MODUS presents a different challenge, but players arriving with confidence and a winning habit can be difficult opponents.

Jenson Walker and Ashley Coleman Have the Scoring Power

Jenson Walker is another player capable of producing some outstanding darts.

Ranked 134th in Q4QS with an average of 84.54, Walker recently recorded a remarkable 105.47 match average in a 4–1 victory over Damien Grimes at the WDF Europe Cup.

He also averaged 92.67 in his latest recorded World Youth Championship Finals appearance.

His recent results have been mixed, with four wins from his last ten recorded matches, but the scoring potential is clearly there.

Ashley Coleman also deserves considerable attention.

Coleman sits 171st in the Q4QS rankings with an average of 86.35. His most recent recorded tournament saw him reach the last 32 of a PDC World Championship qualifier, averaging 92.88 across his matches.

Those are competitive figures in this company.

If Coleman can reproduce that standard consistently, he could become a significant factor in the week's outcome.

Experience Could Make the Difference

There are some familiar names in the field who will not be intimidated by the format.

Jim McEwan arrives with seven wins from his last ten recorded matches and a Q4QS average of 82.95.

He reached the semi-finals of the England Open, averaging 87.70 during that run before losing to Chas Barstow.

Brian Raman also has impressive tournament form behind him.

Raman reached the final of the 2026 WDF World Masters, averaging 88.37 during his campaign before losing to Chris Lim.

His run included a 96.20 average in a 5–2 victory over Jeff Smith.

Scott Mitchell is another experienced competitor who could prove difficult to beat.

His most recent recorded appearance was a Vault 19.0 final at The Sandpiper in Christchurch, where he won seven matches before losing to Riley Milligan.

His overall Q4QS average is 78.27, although his most recent tournament average was lower at 69.82.

Experience and the ability to manage difficult matches could be particularly valuable as the week progresses.

Ashton Brown: Another Grassroots Contender

One of the players I'll be particularly interested in following is Ashton Brown.

Brown currently sits 188th in the Q4QS rankings with an average of 81.45.

He recently reached the semi-finals of a Vault 19.0 event at The Sartan Club in Bishopsworth, winning six matches before losing to Zach Quinn.

He has also recorded a 92.44 match average against Alfie Palmer and averaged 88.55 during his latest appearance at Hangar 61.

With seven wins from his last ten recorded matches, Brown is another player arriving with encouraging form.

He might not attract quite the same attention as some of the established names, but his recent performances suggest he deserves respect.

Davies and Williams Have Something to Prove

David Davies and Alex Williams complete the players covered by the Q4QS narrative data.

Davies has been competing regularly in Vault 19.0 events at Shooters Bar in Leominster, reaching a final and a semi-final in his recent appearances.

His Q4QS average is 61.87, although he has also recorded an 87.62 tournament average in a recent Challenge Tour appearance. That variation makes him difficult to assess purely from his overall figure.

Williams is another player whose recent results suggest a higher level than his overall Q4QS average of 56.32.

He reached the quarter-finals of a Welsh Open, Masters & Classic event with an 83.84 tournament average and has produced a 90.70 match average.

He also averaged 83.55 in his latest British Open & Classic appearance.

Both players have shown they can compete at a considerably higher standard than their overall averages might initially suggest.

What About Sander van Ockenburg-Zwaan?

The final name in the field is Sander van Ockenburg-Zwaan.

He isn't currently matched to a verified player history in the Q4QS export, so I don't have enough reliable information to make the same statistical assessment as the other eleven entrants.

That doesn't mean he should be discounted. It simply means there is less Q4QS evidence available to assess his recent form.

My Six to Follow

Rather than simply taking the six highest-ranked players, I've chosen six who bring different storylines into the week.

1. Tommy Morris – Outstanding recent Challenge Tour scoring, a final appearance and a Q4QS average above 89.

2. Jack Tweddell – Another Challenge Tour finalist with the scoring ability to challenge Morris.

3. Josh McCarthy – Nine wins in his last ten matches and recent tournament-winning form.

4. Jenson Walker – Has already demonstrated three-figure scoring power and could be dangerous if he finds consistency.

5. Ashley Coleman – Recent averages in the 90s suggest he has the ability to go a long way.

6. Ashton Brown – My less obvious selection, with strong recent grassroots form and some impressive individual performances.

Final Thoughts

Looking through the figures, Morris and Tweddell stand out for their recent Challenge Tour performances, while McCarthy arrives with arguably the strongest winning momentum.

But there are enough players capable of producing averages in the high 80s and 90s to make this a genuinely competitive week.

What interests me most is how the grassroots regulars perform against players with extensive experience of higher-level competition.

The Q4QS figures provide a useful guide, but they don't guarantee anything. Different tournaments, opponents and match formats all influence the numbers.

That's part of what makes MODUS so interesting.

I'll be following the results throughout the week to see whether the form translates into performances when it matters.

WDF Swedish Open Malmo 21-23 August 2026

The Swedish Open weekend brought together a sizeable international WDF field in Malmö, with two days of singles action producing four different champions across the Swedish Open and Swedish Masters.

By the end of the weekend, Ross Montgomery, Emine Dursun, Petri Rasmus and Anna Forsmark had collected the four main singles titles, but the results alone only tell part of the story.

There were big averages, close encounters and some outstanding individual performances throughout the draws, with Jenson Walker and Scott Robertson particularly impressive statistically in the men's events.

Swedish Open – Ross Montgomery takes the title

Ross Montgomery emerged as the men's Swedish Open champion after an impressive unbeaten run through the draw, culminating in a high-quality 6-3 victory over Jenson Walker in the final.

And Montgomery saved one of his strongest displays for when it mattered most.

The Scot averaged 94.98 in the final, with Walker himself returning an excellent 90.48.

It capped a seven-match winning run for Montgomery, whose tournament average across the recorded matches was 87.99.

His route became particularly demanding towards the latter stages.

Montgomery defeated Ron Meulenkamp 4-1 in the quarter-finals, averaging 86.69, before overcoming Pär Riihonen 5-3 in the semi-final.

Walker was waiting in the final after an impressive tournament of his own.

The WDF world number three had entered the weekend as one of the leading contenders and demonstrated exactly why. He averaged 88.75 across his seven recorded matches, winning six of them.

His quarter-final against Scott Robertson was arguably the match of the weekend.

Robertson averaged a remarkable 98.91, but Walker still found a way to win 4-3 while averaging 96.36 himself.

Walker then swept aside defending Swedish Open champion Liam Maendl-Lawrence 5-0 in the semi-finals before Montgomery finally ended his challenge.

Robertson produces the performance of the weekend

Despite falling in the quarter-finals, Scott Robertson produced some extraordinary numbers.

His overall tournament average was 96.62, the highest in the Swedish Open men's field.

Even more impressively, Robertson produced a 103.66 average in his Last 16 victory over Andreas Toft Jørgensen.

He also averaged 97.21 earlier in the tournament before producing 98.91 in defeat against Walker.

It is a reminder that knockout darts can be unforgiving: statistically one of the outstanding players of the entire weekend still departed in the last eight.

Elsewhere, Ron Meulenkamp averaged 87.44 across his run, while Anton Östlund recorded an 89.56 tournament average.

Pär Riihonen reached the semi-finals before losing to Montgomery, while Maendl-Lawrence's title defence eventually ended against Walker.

Swedish Open Women – Dursun comes through unbeaten

Emine Dursun claimed the women's Swedish Open title, defeating Irina Armstrong 5-3 in the final.

Dursun went through the competition unbeaten, recording five victories and averaging 66.31 across her tournament.

Her biggest test arguably came before the semi-finals.

Facing Rachna David in the quarter-finals, Dursun edged a deciding-leg contest 4-3. David actually produced the slightly higher average, 70.27 compared with Dursun's 69.32, but it was Dursun who secured the crucial fourth leg.

She then defeated Priscilla Steenbergen 4-1 in the semi-final before seeing off Armstrong in the title match with a 69.89 average.

Armstrong had beaten Helene Sundelin 4-1 in her quarter-final before ending Snezana Veljkovic's challenge 4-1 in the semi-finals.

One of the standout individual displays came from Steenbergen.

She whitewashed Jojo Rolls 4-0 in the quarter-finals with an 85.89 average, comfortably one of the strongest performances anywhere in the women's events during the weekend.

Mona Lund also produced an 83.63 in the earlier rounds.

However, it was Dursun who consistently found the results required and ultimately left Malmö with the Swedish Open title.

Swedish Masters – Petri Rasmus completes perfect run

If Montgomery was impressive in the Open, Petri Rasmus was every bit as convincing in the Swedish Masters.

Rasmus won all seven of his recorded matches and finished with an excellent 87.26 tournament average.

He defeated Anthony Brown 6-2 in the final, averaging 82.47 to Brown's 74.98.

Rasmus had already survived a strong challenge from Scott Robertson in the semi-finals. Robertson averaged 90.60, but Rasmus responded with 86.04 and secured a 5-3 victory.

Before that came another superb contest.

Rasmus defeated James Beeton in the Last 16 while averaging 97.33, with Beeton producing 96.95 in defeat.

Beeton himself enjoyed an excellent tournament statistically, averaging 90.29 overall.

Rasmus then beat Cayden Smith 4-2 in the quarter-finals before eliminating Robertson.

Brown came through the other side of the draw. He edged Jonas Graversen 4-3 in the quarter-finals with an 88.88 average before beating Stefan Schroder 5-3 in the semi-finals.

Schroder had produced a 92.49 average in a 4-0 quarter-final victory over Kilian Hohnstedt.

Jenson Walker again featured prominently, reaching the last eight before Robertson defeated him 4-3. Walker averaged 89.50 in that match but Robertson was again excellent at 93.44.

One of the most eye-catching individual performances came earlier in the tournament when Noa-Lynn van Leuven averaged 102.46 in victory over Petr Touš.

But across an entire tournament it was Rasmus who combined scoring quality with the consistency required to take the trophy.

Seven matches, seven victories and another significant WDF title.

Swedish Masters Women – Forsmark wins a thriller

The Swedish Masters women's final provided perhaps the most dramatic finish of the four competitions.

Sweden's Anna Forsmark defeated Rachna David 5-4, giving the home contingent a champion to celebrate.

David had been statistically outstanding throughout the tournament.

She averaged 76.43 across her five matches, considerably higher than Forsmark's tournament figure of 63.99, but Forsmark remained unbeaten and delivered when the deciding moments arrived.

The final demonstrated that perfectly.

David averaged 71.90 compared with Forsmark's 71.45, but it was Forsmark who took the deciding leg and the title.

Forsmark had already survived another decider in the quarter-finals, defeating Paula Jacklin 4-3 despite Jacklin producing a competitive 68.85 average.

A 4-1 semi-final victory over Irina Armstrong then put Forsmark into the final.

David's path contained some excellent performances.

She averaged 81.24 earlier in the tournament, followed by 71.57 in the Last 16 and 78.16 in her 4-2 quarter-final victory over Layla Brussel.

Her semi-final was another high-quality encounter, with David averaging 79.27 to beat Priscilla Steenbergen 4-2. Steenbergen herself averaged 73.40.

Steenbergen had produced an 80.38 in her quarter-final win over Trine Byø.

David therefore finished as comfortably the strongest player statistically across the Masters women's competition, but Forsmark's ability to keep finding a way through close matches ultimately proved decisive.

Four tournaments, four different stories

The Swedish weekend produced four champions in very different circumstances.

Ross Montgomery combined experience with some of his best darts at exactly the right time, finishing his Swedish Open campaign with a 94.98 average in the final.

Emine Dursun negotiated a competitive women's draw without losing a match and survived a deciding-leg quarter-final on the way to the Open title.

Petri Rasmus produced arguably the most complete title-winning performance of the weekend, going seven from seven with an 87.26 tournament average to capture the Swedish Masters.

And Anna Forsmark provided the home success, twice surviving deciding-leg matches and eventually overcoming the statistically outstanding Rachna David 5-4 for the Masters crown.

There were also performances that deserve recognition beyond the four winners.

Scott Robertson's Swedish Open numbers were exceptional. His 96.62 tournament average and 103.66 peak performance would normally be numbers associated with a title challenge, yet the brutality of knockout darts meant his run ended in the quarter-finals.

Jenson Walker reached the Open final and Masters quarter-finals while repeatedly producing averages around or above the 90 mark.

Rachna David reached the Masters final with the best overall numbers in that women's competition.

Priscilla Steenbergen produced an 85.89 in the Swedish Open quarter-finals.

Across four substantial international draws, the Swedish Open weekend therefore delivered much more than four names on a roll of honour.

It produced established names challenging for titles, home success through Forsmark, outstanding statistical performances and another reminder of the depth that now exists across the WDF circuit.

For Montgomery, Dursun, Rasmus and Forsmark, though, Malmö ended with the most important statistic of all: champion.

Schroder had produced a 92.49 average in a 4-0 quarter-final victory over Kilian Hohnstedt.

Four tournaments, four different stories

Across four substantial international draws, the Swedish Open weekend therefore delivered much more than four names on a roll of honour.

It produced established names challenging for titles, home success through Forsmark, outstanding statistical performances and another reminder of the depth that now exists across the WDF circuit.

For Montgomery, Dursun, Rasmus and Forsmark, though, Malmö ended with the most important statistic of all: champion.
