Phil Taylor cruised past Ronnie Baxter to set up an enticing World Matchplay final against James Wade.
Taylor scored an impressive ten 180s and finished with a three-dart average of 103.39 to defeat Baxter 17-10.
The Power believes his work ethic allows him to carry on performing at the top level of the game.
He told Sky Sports News: "I'm one of the luckiest men alive. I love all sport and will be watching everything at the Olympics, but to be where I am, stepping on the stage tomorrow winning £50,000 is just remarkable.
"I have not stopped working hard, training over in Tenerife in all temperatures, and performances like tonight are the rewards. Trust me, winning a guaranteed £50,000 like that is better than an orgasm."
James Wade will be Taylor's opponent in the Blackpool final on Sunday night after winning a thriller against Terry Jenkins by 17 legs to 15.
