Jonny Clayton and Ben Robb will lock horns in the opening round of the 2026 Australian Darts Masters on Friday morning. The Ferret is riding high following his NZ Darts Masters triumph, and we are backing him to make a strong start in this competition in our match prediction.
Jonny Clayton will have fond memories of this competition, having won the inaugural Australian/ New South Wales Darts Masters back in 2022 by beating James Wade 8-1 in the final.
The Ferret’s most important achievement of 2026 came last weekend, when he won the New Zealand Darts Masters by beating Gerwyn Price in the final, marking his second World Series of Darts title.
Clayton has won seven of his last 10 matches in all competitions and is one of the shortest-priced favourites on the opening day of this tournament.
Meanwhile, Ben Robb is a well-established figure on the Oceanic circuit but remains outside the PDC elite. The vast majority of his best work has been done on the DPNZ ProTour in 2026.
Big Rig has already notched up five DPNZ ProTour titles this year. He featured at the New Zealand Darts Masters last week but suffered a first-round exit, 6-4 to Aussie number one Damon Heta.
Robb has won eight of his last 10 listed matches. All of those victories came in the Modus Super Series in April this year.

Our Jonny Clayton vs Ben Robb Prediction
Ben Robb has been one of the standout performers on the DPNZ ProTour in 2026 and made a good impression against Damon Heta in Auckland last week, but this is a significant step up in class of opponent.
Despite his lack of silverware heading into last week, Jonny Clayton has been one of the most consistent performers on the ProTour this year. After winning his first title in Auckland, the Ferret will be full of confidence here, and we fancy him to win this match in style. Our Jonny Clayton vs Ben Robb prediction is Jonny Clayton -1.5.
