    Enjoying what I’ve managed to see so far. Standout games have been Ian White vs Huybrechts and Whitlock vs Labanauskas. Whitlock is definitely a dark horse.

    I’ve backed:

    Wright 7/1
    Aspinall 30/1
    Anderson 50/1
    Chisnall 90/1

    Big guy let him in twice in the last 2 sets and he bottled it.

    MVG/Evans an absolutely brilliant game to watch.

    That’s what will take darts to the next level, the speed of play going up slightly.

    Gary Anderson speaking what everyone who watched that match today was thinking.

    Absolute pish from Mensur, pushing the boundaries of gamesmanship.

    20 seconds between Anderson collecting his darts and him throwing his first.

    Disgraceful carry on from him tbh .
    Everyone knows he is slow ( when he wants to be ) , but that today was disgusting. My young lad couldn't believe how long he was taking.

    Mensur was completely acting the bollocks today and they need to bring in regulations to stop that sort of thing.

    Gary though.. for a two time world champion you would expect him to be more professional. Absolutely disgraceful performance by him to allow Mensur to take that second set with an average of about 75. If he focused on his darts and making his opponent pay for their attempts at gamesmanship then people would stop trying to rile him up. There’s a massive target on his back now. Way too easy to get on his nerves.

    Straight from the very top drawer, arguably the best match I’ve ever seen.

    This has been some tournament so far, even without the most crucial part of the darts being there.

    He’s identical to O’Sullivan in the snooker for me.

    I can’t help but enjoy them doing the thing they are naturally incredible at but neither seem the most humble of folk.
