Lewis after winning first title in two years at Players Championship 8: "These floor tournaments are the hardest ones to win so I'm delighted to get back to winning ways“

Adrian Lewis claimed his first title in two years at Players Championship 8 defeating Raymond van Barneveld in a classy display.

Lewis spoke afterwards and lauded praise on his opponent as well as saying in his opinion, these tournaments are the hardest. "That was one of the hardest games I've ever played, it was a bit like going back in time," said Lewis. "Raymond is still one of the world's best players, he's having a tough time at the moment because the Premier League can be so difficult when you're on a losing run. "It can be hard to pick yourself up when you start dreading it, so fair play to Raymond today he showed a lot of fight to reach the final. "These floor tournaments are the hardest ones to win so I'm delighted to get back to winning ways and now I'm looking forward to getting back where I know I should be." for more information about the Pro Tour and the prize fund breakdown.
