"Could have been better if my doubles went in, could have been so much easier. That was the way I felt, miles off some of them but the ones that mattered kind of went in," said Anderson post match.

He has spoken about his form not being up to par and it being 'rotten' which still hasn't changed but he admits he still has the hunger.

"And I'm still rotten. I've not changed, I think the other players have got worse. I've said I don't care and I really do mean it but when my foot goes on that top step and I'm on that stage, I still want to play darts and I still want to win."

A theme of this year's tournament has been a hostile crowd especially towards non-English players and for Anderson, he hit back and said it fires him up.

"I've got the skin of the rhino. The more they chant and sing against me, the more I'm going to enjoy it. It gets the blood pumping."
