The World Darts Championship delivered thrilling matches, including Nathan Aspinall’s nervy win and Christian Kist’s nine-darter despite losing. Ricky Evans also overcame a tough match, while Jim Williams suffered a disappointing defeat. The tournament continues with more exciting matches to come.
SKY SPORTS commentator Wayne Mardle made a hilarious blunder during Nathan Aspinall’s match with Luke Humphries. While calling the game, Mardle incorrectly stated that there were 26 points remaining for Aspinall, forcing him to correct himself moments later. The incident sparked reactions from fans on social media, with some remarking on Mardle’s unique style of commentary. Aspinall ultimately defeated Humphries, but his victory was overshadowed by the 17-year-old Luke Littler’s impressive performance. Littler triumphed over Humphries and Gerwyn Price before claiming victory against Rob Cross in the final.
Nathan Aspinall believes Luke Humphries is the best player in the world, claiming that he is unbeatable when he is at his best. The world champion stated that Humphries has been producing incredible numbers and is the current top of the Premier League standings with 26 points. Aspinall admits that Humphries’ recent success has led to media attention that has irked some opponents, including himself. Currently in third place, Aspinall hopes his experience from beating Humphries in Rotterdam can give him another victory in their upcoming meeting on Thursday. With five weeks left of the Premier League regular season, Aspinall believes that van Gerwen is under pressure to secure a top-four spot. The intense battle for play-off positions will unfold over the next five weeks, offering an exciting watch for fans of the sport.
