Day one of the PDC World Series of Darts Finals couldn't have gone better for the Australian contingent.
Raymond Smith, Damon Heta and Kyle Anderson all recorded wins in Vienna. Jamie Lewis stole the show with a magnificent win over Dimitri van den Bergh in the other highlight of the night. Now the seeds enter, including Michael van Gerwen, the only man ever to win the PDC World Series of Darts Finals. There's even another Aussie entering the mix.
The first contender from Down Under on Saturday evening is Kyle Anderson. After impressing in a win over Ian White, Michael Smith is next in his sights. Then comes a battle of the Raymonds, with Smith meeting van Barneveld. Gary Anderson then plays Dave Chisnall in a game nailed on to feature some big scoring.
The Price is Wright! Had to get that one in before the ITV4 commentators do later on. Pun-tastic duo Gerwyn Price and Peter Wright will both fancy their chances of winning this tie. Simon Whitlock, the seeded Australian entry, will want to follow his compatriots' fine example. But Daryl Gurney obliterated Steve Beaton and is a tough opponent.
Rob Cross might be wary about taking on Jamie Lewis, currently the form horse. European Championship winner James Wade's quest for World Series glory continues against Mensur Suljovic, who'll have even more adoring fans than usual in Vienna. Then Michael van Gerwen closes the night, taking on Damon Heta. It'd be one almighty shock if the Aussie could win this one.

- 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
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
