𝘿𝘼𝙍𝙄𝙐𝙎 𝙒𝙄𝙉𝙎 Darius Labanauskas sets up a tasty second round clash with Simon Whitlock after a whitewash victory over Chengan Liu! 📺 Up next 👉 Wayne Jones v Ciaran Teehan
Darius Labanauskas reached the Quarter-Finals of last year's PDC World Darts Championship and 'Lucky D' is successfully through his opening tie against Chinese qualifier Chengan Liu.
Labanauskas won through in a straight sets victory over Liu who was making his first appearance in 15 years. But it was the Lithuanian with a 96 average and three 180's and 50% on the doubles who won through.
He wrapped up the opening set with relative ease 3-1 and his scoring prowess was proving too good for Liu as he had a nine point difference on his average and this showed as he once again claimed the second set 3-1.
This was completed with a 68 checkout for a 14-darter as his average was up at 93.7 and his doubling was proving successful as well with 67%.
The final set saw Labanauskas dominate once more as he claimed it in a clean sweep to set up a tie with Simon Whitlock.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
