Jenkins' World Championship pedigree was far from impressive (to put it nicely)...until last time out.

Rocky went into the 2007 event with three wins in 15 matches over 12 years, but made it all the way to the semi-finals last year (including a victory over Adrian Lewis) before losing 6-0 to eventual winner Raymond van Barneveld.

But Jenkins remains without a major final appearance to his name, with his semi-final appearance at the Circus Tavern last year matched by last-four finishes at the World Grand Prix in 2002 and the UK Open two years later.

A winner of the English, Welsh and Swiss Opens on tour in the past, but while staying in the top 16 of the Order of Merit is impressive, he is yet to really take the next step.
