TATA STUNS WRIGHT!! What a win for Jonny Tata as he shows no sign of nerves on his TV debut to beat Peter Wright 6-3! #NZDarts | First Round 📺bit.ly/NZDM23
''It's something I thought would never happen, and it did!" - Jonny Tata stuns Wright on TV debut

Jonny Tata was responsible for the biggest shock of the first round of the New Zealand Darts Masters on Friday morning by eliminating two-time world champion Peter Wright.
Tata thus dealt Wright another blow in his already disappointing season. The Scot did not exceed an average of 84 and a finishing percentage of 30 percent.
"It's an unreal feeling, I can't really explain it,'' Tata stammered to the press in attendance afterwards. ''It's something I thought would never happen, and it did!"
The New Zealander, making his debut at a television tournament, spoke of a dream draw. "Even to compete against Peter Wright I was happy, so coming out with the win on top is something magical. I'm absolutely thrilled."
"It's something I was so excited for and I suppose the nerves weren't there as much as I thought they would have been. Once I got onto stage, everything fell into place," Tata said. He gets another chance for a stunt on Saturday. Then awaits Rob Cross in the quarterfinals of the New Zealand Darts Masters.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
