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."

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
