"It's been quite a while since I won a World Series event" - Nathan Aspinall with point to prove at Bahrain Darts Masters
PDC
Nathan Aspinall has been a hot topic in the darting world recently, with his Premier League Darts selection coming under scrutiny, even from fellow pros. As such, with 'The Asp' set to represent the PDC at the 2025 Bahrain Darts Masters later this afternoon, the Englishman is doing so with a point to prove.
Although long-time leading light of the PDC and winner of two major titles, the UK Open and the World Matchplay, ongoing battles with injury and the dreaded dartitis have seen Aspinall struggle over the course of the last 12 months. There were however, signs of life at the recent PDC World Darts Championship, where Aspinall reached the quarter-finals before losing out to eventual champion Luke Littler.

"I'm really happy to be back in Bahrain," says Aspinall to the PDC ahead of the 2025 World Series of Darts opener. "It would be amazing to win - it's been quite a while since I won a World Series event but I've got quite a tough first game so we'll see what happens."
In the first round, Aspinall faces off against PDC China Champion Xiaochen Zong, with a clash against world number one and former world champion Luke Humphries potentially laying in wait for the winner in the quarter-finals.

- It has been fantastic watching Richie Burnett this week in the Modus Super Series and a fabulous interview with Paul Nicholson on YouTube. 30 years since his World Championship and a repeat of the 96 final with Steve Beaton. Magic boom boom boom boom boom boomrichieburnettrocks16-01-2025

- It's so disappointing the Modus Super Series is no longer on TV. Watching it on YouTube is not really the same. It's absolutely excellent and most importantly Richie Burnett is competing this week, Richie seems to want to headbutt the board when collecting his darts.richieburnettrocks14-01-2025
- I want him to do well this year, but Mike de Decker needs to settle himself, and let his darts do the talking. There's no need to make it easier for the PDC to overlook him in the future.
UndartedWaters14-01-2025 - 2024 was "the year of the underdog", but in reality showed the depth of talent in the PDC. Too deep for the PDC apparently, who got spooked and pulled out the bath plug, most likely to the detriment of the sport. I am sure most fans would want up-and-coming players to be given a hand up, not a slap down.UndartedWaters13-01-2025

- Newly relegated Tour Card holders made up 26/256 of the Q School Final Stage field: 10.16%. They won 3/29 of the Tour Cards on offer: 10.34%. This suggest that the 'worst of the best' are of a similar standard to the 'best of the rest' which is notable but surely unsurprising.Scoobedybop13-01-2025
- Now this is a heart-warming story. A top-32 pro-player giving up his time to help out in a humble role at Q school. Well done Ricardo.UndartedWaters12-01-2025

- Gutted to hear about Wynand, he was one of those one off championship characters that you always remember. He beat Manley at his own game. Maish was the VAT fiddler. I think it was Webster, Wynand should have beaten in that 3rd round. Thank you Wynand for those brief but everlasting memories.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025
