Martin Lukeman will be Martin Schindler's opponent in the second round of the PDC World Darts Championship after victory over Nobuhiro Yamamoto in three sets.
The Japanese ace grew into the match and got better and better but it was not going to shake Lukeman who lost three legs in moving through.
Lukeman sealed the opening set in a routine start to the tie sealing three consecutive legs despite missing eight darts at doubles.
This run continued not only of Lukeman legs but also missed darts as he finally hit double one to go 2-0 up with his average going up to 86 despite 6/21 on the outer ring.
After a 180, Yamamoto held and hit another as he looked to attack the throw of ‘Smash’ and he went six perfect darts in before hitting a 100 checkout going double double on double 20. Lukeman broke back though on double 14 and was on the brink of victory sealing it on double four.

- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024

- 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

- Get his wife to work so that he can retire. Do the seniors tour, Modus, exbos. He'll still be doing alright.medinabello23-12-2024
- He used this kind of anger as motivation to get past this round. Next round he will revert to his usual form. 90 or below ave and a defeat.medinabello23-12-2024
