Cross again too strong for Taylor in re-match of World Championship Final

Rob Cross has said that still there are times it is sinking in that he is where he is in a recent interview with LiveDarts. This was done at a recent event called the SAP Cup.
Rob Cross was facing Phil Taylor in a re-match of the World Championship final and once again it was 'Voltage' that came out on top. He won 10-8 and spoke afterwards about his routine as well as playing against Taylor.
"There's times when I literally have to pinch myself to realise this is happening. It’s been such a tornado of a six months or so, I think it’s still sinking in." Cross told LiveDarts.
"That's not affecting my game whatsoever. The only thing that has troubled me is losing my routine but I've sorted that.
Your biggest rival is not any of the players, it’s the fatigue. This year is my learning curve and how I deal with the extra pressure of travelling and being away from my family.
"Phil was unbelievable. He managed to do all this for 30 years. This is only really my second full year and it’s a shock to the system, trust me."

"Phil will always be hard to beat, no matter how old he is or how much he’s been away from the game.
The only thing that is stopping him being at the very top is the travelling, not because he hasn’t got the talent. He would still win majors this year, no doubt about it.''

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
UndartedWaters19-11-2024 - Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.UndartedWaters18-11-2024
- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
