WILLIAMS WHITEWASH! Impressive stuff from Lewy Williams, who came agonisingly close to sealing victory over Niels Zonneveld with a nine-darter! #WCDarts | R1 📺 bit.ly/WC23Live
Lewy Williams relishing Van Gerwen clash: "I don't fear anyone apart from Beau Greaves" he says with a wry smile

After impressively whitewashing Niels Zonneveld and coming within millimetres of a match-winning nine-darter, Lewy Williams is understandably full of confidence going into his second-round clash with Michael van Gerwen at the PDC World Darts Championship.
"I was gutted to be honest," Williams said on his near-miss nine-darter. "I've only ever gone 180, 180, never hit the seventh dart, so I thought in my head 'just give it your best'. When I dropped the dart it was 'oh no here we go again' but after hitting the treble 19 it felt so good, just landed on the wire."
Despite not achieving perfection, Williams was very impressive in his commanding win. Tougher tasks are ahead for the 20-year-old Welshman however as next up is the three-time World Champion and tournament favourite, Michael van Gerwen.
Williams is not afraid of the challenge though, far from it in fact. "I don't fear anyone apart from Beau Greaves," he says with a wry smile. "But I'll go in there with full confidence and if he's off his game, capitalise on and maybe push him and get the win."

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
