After equal elimination in Rotterdam last week, the first match in Leeds was also the end of the road on Thursday.
The three-time world champion put in a very shaky performance, losing 6-3 to Peter Wright after also being thrashed by Josh Rock to nil in Graz last week on the European Tour.

Another frustrating night for myself, but it is my own fault as I created more than enough chances. But when you miss that many darts at a double you can only blame yourself. Congratulations to @snakebitewright . Thank you for all the support Leeds 💚
