After some impressive performances last weekend, Joe Cullen came up short on Sunday night in the Austrian Darts Open final, losing out 8-4 to Luke Littler.
As mentioned however, Cullen had impressed on his way to the final with some high averages and big wins. Sadly, in the final, 'The Rockstar' rather ran out of steam with his 85.54 way below the level required to make things difficult for Littler.
"I was not very good - I'm disappointed with the way I played in the final but if you'd have offered me a final before the week started I'd have taken it," Cullen reflected post-match, conceding his lost to the better player on the night. "He played better than me and did what he had to do at the right times."
"He's a fantastic talent, I think he's a generational talent," concluded Cullen, who moves up one spot in the world rankings to fifteenth thanks to this run to the final in Graz. "He's been fantastic all weekend and he's great for the game."

- What a undignified way to bow out of the darts for the greatest darts player ever, absolutely the best. Nobody was as dedicated or committed or even half as good as Phil. He completely dominated darts, not only the greatest darts player ever but also one of the greatest sportsman ever. Ayrton Senna is my ultimate hero but Phil won 16 World Championships, Eric only won 5 and that won't be surpassed. Thank you Phil, not my most favourite player but certainly the greatest and loved watching you completely destroy every opponent, almost never missed a treble or any check out. Stoke definitely needs a statue of Phil Taylor !richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- I don't have a problem with someone being whoever they want to be, but ultimately there is a Ladies and Mens format for a reason. What is going to stop substandard men claiming that they are transgender and entering the ladies format for an opportunity to increase their profile, prize money, ranking etc etc. We know that the current crop of PDC players will suck up to van Leuven and will not speak out.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- The bottom line is Beau will be a triple World Champion soon. She is so many levels better than the rest of the ladies. Lorraine and Aileen have never really raised their game, I really expected the quality of the ladies game to have improved but excluding Beau, it seems to have detiorated. Beau is too modest and could easily mix with the men and beat most of them.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
