Lewis on chances of claiming third PDC World Championship: “I’m 99.9 per cent sure”
PDC
Former two-time World Champion, Adrian Lewis as ever is confident of a return to his best and believes at times he just isn’t getting the ‘rub of the green’.
“I think I’ve played some steady darts and some rubbish darts. Overall, I’ve been fairly steady. I’ve had a few averages over the 110 mark, which is good,” he said in an interview posted by MDA Events.
“I seem to be losing a lot of games with averages around the 95 mark. I’m not playing bad, I’m just sometimes not getting the rub of the green. That’s darts.”

On his hopes of qualifying for the World Matchplay, Lewis added: “I was £3,500 in front [of the cut-off] in the Matchplay going into Niedernhausen [which staged two Players Championship events last month]. But unfortunately, I caught Covid so I couldn’t go there. Now I’m only £750 in front.”
He was also upbeat on his chances of winning another World title. “I’m 99.9 per cent [sure).”
More chance of Richie Burnett being a 3 time World Champion and I love Richie but it’s not going to happen. Jackpot looks more like a Potless hobo nowadays, but I did enjoy watching him when he was on it.
First thing he needs to do is stop whinging when he loses (particularly when its a close match) and blaming the other player for unfair antics. He does not look fit or well, always looks like he needs a good nights sleep and that silky smooth throwing action is no longer that silky smooth. needs to get back practicing with Taylor, will do them both a world of good.
Adrian used to be my favourite player I think he needs to get fitter and maybe the darts will follow.. Look at Luke Humphries! The young guns today are fearless I doubt Adrian would be able to keep up...

- Likewise, I have always been a fan of Mervyn and with this worry on his mind, it explains why his form and ranking plummeted. It is really sad to hear this, often chatted to Mervyn and Tracey during the Lakeside days, both are lovely people. It does seem naive not acknowledging the fact it was earnings, surely there must be others in the same situation. I really hope the Kings can get through this....would a go fund me be permittedrichieburnettrocks11-03-2025
- I always like Merv,but he does he seems slightly naive with his comments. I wish you all the best, hope you can get sorted,and try and get back to a decent game,a bit of money.....and get rid of the dogs,if that's your main concern,I believe your priorities may be slightly wrongrick6710-03-2025
- What’s with the dogs element to this story, trying to pull at the heart strings? Just goes to show that being a good dart player does not equate to being that bright. Seriously, ‘I thought you didn’t have to pay tax on winnings’ , your a pro dart player and its your line of work, your not playing the lottery or placing a bet. I think it was Phil Taylor who said you should put a third to one side of all winnings into a bank account, obviously Merv was wearing his earplugs at the time.Mysstree10-03-2025
- The thing is... the folks who "humiliated" Taylor in the Seniors Events never really achieved anything in the important events - like Taylor did. Taylor had/has nothing to prove... and beating Taylor after he had retired is of zero value. Taylor in his prime would have made easy work of all of them. Cheers.MrYnyslas197107-03-2025
- Taylor was humiliated in the seniors events,so he really has nothing to lose by playing littler. I think he should put his darts away,and let us remember what a great player he wasrick6706-03-2025
