Anderson begins World Championship campaign with superb win over Razma
PDCWednesday, 23 December 2020 at 15:01
Gary Anderson has began his quest for a third World Championship with a superb display to see off Madars Razma 3-1 in sets.
Anderson claimed victory with a 96.8 average, four 180's and a high checkout of 161 as he diminished injury fears to move through to the Third Round.
Anderson had a straight forward start to the tie with the first set being claimed without reply despite only averaging 86.7.
But Razma fought back with a superb set of his own sealing it 3-1 to level the match with a 94.4 average. His only lost leg came with Anderson taking out 87 after Razma had gone seven darts into a nine-darter.
He took the lead in the third set but Anderson went 2-1 up with a second 180 and a 101 checkout to break and from there he sealed it to go 2-1 up in sets.
He headed towards the finishing line with a 161 to move within a leg but he squandered two match darts and Razma took out 76 to force a decider.
This proved a mere consolation though as Anderson took it next leg first time on double 20.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
