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

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.

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
