Jim Williams has continued his run of always having won his first round game at the Alexandra Palace, comfortably dispatching Norman Madhoo and despite not being at his best, winning all nine legs.
Second up on this Sunday afternoon, former Lakeside finalist Jim Williams quickly got himself ahead. Taking a clean sweep of the opening set, the Welshman cruised to a 1-0 in no time at all.
After Madhoo missed seven darts for the opening leg of set 2, Williams punished to make it four legs on the bounce for the Welshman. A solid 16-dart break of throw followed for Williams and completing the set on double 8 it was 2-0.
Despite Williams having an absolute disaster on 68 in the opening leg of set 3, miscounting and busting on double top, he did eventually take the leg, his seventh in a row. Double 16 sent him one leg away from the win and a few moments later he took his ninth straight leg and booked his place in round 2 versus Peter Wright.

- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
