Lewis convincingly holds off strong Evetts challenge

Adrian Lewis was forced to work hard against Ted Evetts, but did the right things at the right time to comfortably defeat his countryman 3-0 at the PDC World Darts Championship 2019.

'Jackpot' averaged 97,2 against Evetts' 95,92, but was the coolest under pressure. Both of the first two sets went to a fifth and deciding leg, with Lewis winning them in 14 and 13 darts. A break of throw in the third leg of the third set put the two-time winner in a strong position, which he converted by hitting D16 for the victory.
Lewis now faces Lithuanian giant killer Darius Labanauskas, who knocked out Raymond van Barneveld in round two.
