Hong Kong have cruised into the last sixteen of the 2025 World Cup of Darts, dropping just one leg across their two group matches. Man Lok Leung and Lok Ying Lee now prepare to face Sweden’s Jeffrey de Graaf and Oskar Lukasiak in the knockout round.
The duo dropped a single leg in their opening win over the USA, but looked even sharper on day two, coasting to a 4-0 whitewash against Bahrain. For Hong Kong, it marks only the third time in tournament history that they’ve advanced beyond the first round.
“This is our third year playing together at the World Cup of Darts, and it’s the first time we’ve made it out of the group stage as a team,” said Lok Leung, who famously stunned Gian van Veen at the 2024 edition.
“We complement each other extremely well,” added Lee Lok Ying. “When one of us struggles, the other steps up. And above all, we’re proud to represent Hong Kong. We want to make the people at home proud.”

Next Stop: Sweden
In the last sixteen, Hong Kong face a tough but winnable tie against Sweden. And the belief is clear.
“We absolutely believe we can go far,” said Lok Ying. “In 2015, Hong Kong reached the quarter-finals — and we’re aiming to match or even better that run.”
“Hopefully our performance here inspires young talent back home,” he added. “The future of darts in Hong Kong depends on it.”
Man Lok Leung also shared insight into his preparation for the event — including soft-tip tournaments with major prize money.
“That works well for me,” he smiled. “And hey, big prize pools are always a nice bonus!”

- I couldn't understand at the time why he changed darts? I guess it was all to do with money,but his darts designer came from Australia or new Zealand. It's not as if you pop to Stockport for a chat!!rick6711-07-2025
- Smith has been rubbish since he won the world title. Like he reached the top of the mountain and then gave up. Anyone else would have tried a change of dart, but not Smith, the sponsorship money was more important than success. He will be lucky to stay in the top 100 the way his game is going...JohnnyConger11-07-2025
- Diet could be the problem with arthritis. Changing your diet can alleviate the symptoms if not get rid of it and lose some weight, wrong diet and overweight cause inflammation. Avoid the Covid jab.Mysstree11-07-2025
- There are two players Michael Smith can leapfrog with a semi-final today: as well as Ryan Joyce, he could equal RVB and with the £5k would qualify on the count back rule of money earned in the last four Pro Tour tournaments. Either Ryan or Raymond would have to lose in the first round for a semi to be enough. O'Connor must win today to have a chance, and everyone in-between requires at least a finalist's cheque and some help from above.Scoobedybop09-07-2025
- The News of the World paper no longer exists so it would need a new title and would anyone want to be linked with what is now a dubious rag of a newspaper in its latter years. Logistically it would be very straightforward to organise, finances would be the problem.Mysstree07-07-2025
