Heta hopes to end 'disheartening' TV run at PDC World Darts Championship: "Sometimes you think: ‘What have I got to do here?"

Damon Heta will face Adrian Lewis this afternoon at the 2022/23 PDC World Darts Championship and it will take the attention as the top tie.

Heta despite being the top ProTour player and seen as the best in the world for part of this year hasn't had success on TV which he will hope to unlock.

“I’ve always been that consistent player, so to not bring it out on the big TV stages, that is where it’s disheartening,” said Heta.

“I’ve had some real beatings on TV, even when I’m playing well, and sometimes you think: ‘What have I got to do here?’ Hopefully my day will come.

“I want to start going deeper in these big events and the more I get into tournaments, the better I will get, so fingers crossed it all comes together at Ally Pally.”

“I think everyone that plays darts – that is their main goal,” added the Aussie ace.

“Everybody wants to be a World Champion, but not everyone can be, so I’m going to work as hard as I can and take each game as it comes.

“I believe it will happen for me. I always put the work in, I’m literally here for darts and I see myself doing great things.”
