Since dropping form in the US Darts Masters, Stephen Bunting admitted he felt very nervous for his first round tie against Tytus Kanik. He also went on to say, "that game is behind me now and I know what to do to win this tournament". Bunting faces another Polish standout, Krzysztof Ratajski, in that next round.

"I respected the crowd they were supporting their home grown player, which is okay and I'll face that tomorrow too".
"It is very good winning any event, but coming back here after winning this event before gives you lots of confidence". Can Stephen Bunting get back to form and win this European Tour again?
"It is tiring, only last week we were in New York, but i'm not one of the players that will complain, if i'm on the round in PDC tournaments, I have the chance to win good money for me and my family".
When being asked what he wants to do when he retires his response was, "to go to a hot country and sit on a beach" this caused plenty of laughter coming from the crowd.
"I love coming over here, the venue is brilliant, the hotel is brilliant and we really get looked after whilst we are here and hopefully Polish darts keeps getting better". Stephen Bunting ended his interview but expressing how much he loves to play in this tournament and how much the darts players get respect from the tournament hosts.
Stephen Bunting plays Krzysztof Ratajski in the next round tonight, can he win and potentially win the tournament?

- I agree that this season the format was a bit stale, it would be better to have some new faces rotated in through the season. I also think they should vary the format a bit as it doesn't count for rankings, they could have different varieties of 501 (e.g. double start) or just different challenges.mikedarts03-07-2026
- I don't really understand why its an issue that Littler doesn't play in the events, they are barely televised so there is no draw for marketing and it gives the other players a better chance to define their narratives. The events are more of a throw back to old events. I agree that the format should be looked at, I don't know why they don't do a more interesting format or vary it through the season to improve interestmikedarts03-07-2026
- This shows they have the prize money structure wrong then (and OoM as a result). Put more £ into the floor, less on the TV and you'll attract more players to attend more often.BandB03-07-2026
- He's admitted his mistakes. He won't be the first or last player to get sent down,or take drugs. I honestly didn't like the lad,but at least he's owning up to his issues. So,good luck. In whatever he decides to dorick6702-07-2026
- Not everyone wants to watch pub players throwing 70 averages for about £500. Premier League is indeed a cash cow, but it does its job of promoting the game. This new suggestion for changes is one of the better ones. Even better if everyone knew what they had to do to qualify and it isn't just a walk-on popularity contest.StraightArrowNoBull01-07-2026
- I have a suggestion,scrap the whole thing. It's a pointless cash cow for anyone in the top 10.rick6730-06-2026
- Well nobody made him bet!! It's his own fault,if wants to lose money,then he shouldn't call Gerwyn out! He averaged 103,I would think the losing betting idiot could average 40! If you don't want to risk losing,keep your money in your pocket!rick6728-06-2026
- A great female line up this year, it would be nice to see Gemma win, but Beau is too good. Although the most important lady is missing....Lorraine Winstanley! You can't have a major tournament with out Lorraine Winstanley!! My dream is to see Lorraine hit a nine darter, run off the stage and out of the building with Dean.richieburnettrocks25-06-2026
- Laura looking fantastic and obviously has a hidden talent as a dart player. It was so nice to see her shock and joy of hitting that triple 20 I miss Laura, she was excellent and very knowledgeable regarding darts. Can you imagine that dozy wooden air head Emma Paton from SKY being able to do that, she'd hold the dart the wrong way round.richieburnettrocks25-06-2026
